Just rewatched The French Connection for the first time after many years. I had forgotten most of the details of the story. (It's almost as if I had never watched it. Maybe I only thought I had watched the whole thing before but had really only seen a few clips?)
Do you think Jimmy "Popeye" Doyle was a hero? Or was he an antihero?
Incidentally, I was surprised to learn
(1) that the story was inspired by true events

(2) even more surprising to me -- the drugs that were seized were stolen from police custody!
