Editor's note

The Day of the Jackal, directed by Fred Zinnemann, is a classic thriller that tells the story of a professional assassin hired to kill Charles de Gaulle, the President of France. The film is a meticulous cat-and-mouse game, with the Jackal's cool, calculated approach to his mission contrasted against the desperate efforts of French authorities to stop him. It's a masterclass in suspense, building tension with precision and a keen attention to detail.
