  • The Day of the Jackal is a 1973 film set in August 1963, based on a novel of the same name by Frederick Forsyth. Directed by Fred Zinnemann, it stars Edward Fox as the assassin known only as "the Jackal" who was hired to assassinate Charles de Gaulle. The film was expensive to produce, as it was filmed in numerous locations throughout Europe. Despite being heavily promoted, being based on a successful novel, and receiving generally positive reviews, the film was a box-office failure. It did, however, make Edward Fox a star, though many speculated the film's lack of an established star (with Michael Caine having lobbied for the lead role) was the reason for its lack of success. However, Zinnemann wanted the part to be played by an unknown to emphasise that the Jackal was a faceless outsider. In his review of the film, Roger Ebert gave it a perfect 4/4 rating, and referred to it as "one hell of an exciting movie", and a "beautifully executed example of filmmaking".

  • Shakaali (The Day of the Jackal) on Fred Zinnemannin vuonna 1973 ohjaama elokuva. Se perustuu Frederick Forsythin samannimiseen romaaniin. Elokuva kertoo Edward Foxin esittämästä palkkamurhaajasta, jonka toimeksianto on murhata Ranskan presidentti Charles de Gaulle. Joukko OAS-terroristijärjestön johtohenkilöitä palkkaa englantilaisen palkkamurhaajan tappamaan presidentin, jonka he katsovat olevan vastuussa Ranskan vetäytymiseen Algeriasta. Tehtävän saatuaan tappaja katoaa maan alle valmistelemaan iskuaan, eivätkä edes hänen palkkaajansa tiedä hänestä muuta kuin sveitsiläisen pankkitilin numeron sekä koodinimen Shakaali. Hyvällä onnella Ranskan tiedustelupalvelu saa hankkeen selville, mutta he joutuvat etsimään miestä, jolla ei ole kasvoja eikä nimeä.
