"The French Connection" was a 1971 Oscar-winning thriller. But where in France was the "connection"?

Corrupt place despite the beautiful location. My niece was there for a year. They told her not to bother buying a car, it would have been stolen and shipped overseas within hours!

SneakyMole92698., You should see it. It was an excellent movie. There's a reason it won the Academy Award for best picture.

I went to Marseille compliments of Uncle Sam and the only way I'd go back is if someone else paid for everything.

the movie was based on real events. The smuggling ring operated from the 1930's until the 70's.

LolaB, I went there in 1989, and it was really beautiful then.
