conversations.value: The Day of the Jackal (film): On 22 August 1962, an assassination attempt is made on the President of France General Charles de Gaulle by the militant French underground organisation OAS in anger over the French government granting independence to Algeria.\nAs the president\'s motorcade passes, de Gaulle\'s unarmoured Citroën DS car is raked with machine-gun fire, but the entire entourage escapes without injury.\nWithin six months, OAS leader Jean Bastien-Thiry and several other members of the plot are captured, and Bastien-Thiry is executed.\nThe remaining OAS leaders, now exiled in Vienna, decide to make another attempt, and hire a professional British assassin (Edward Fox), who chooses the code name "Jackal".\nThey order several bank robberies to pay his fee: $500,000.\nMeanwhile, the Jackal travels to Genoa and commissions a custom-made rifle and fake identity papers.\nHe kills the forger when the man tries to blackmail him.\nIn Paris, he sneaks an impression of the key to a flat that overlooks the Place du 18 juin 1940.\nIn Rome, where the OAS team have moved, members of the French Action Service kidnap the OAS\'s chief clerk, Viktor Wolenski (Jean Martin).\nWolenski dies under interrogation, but not before the agents have extracted some information about the plot, including the word "Jackal".\nThe Interior Minister (Alan Badel) convenes a secret cabinet meeting of the heads of the French security forces.\nWhen asked to provide his best detective, Police Commissioner Berthier (Timothy West) recommends his deputy, Claude Lebel (Michel Lonsdale).\nSoon after, Lebel is given special emergency powers to conduct his investigation, which is complicated by de Gaulle\'s refusal to change his planned public appearances.\nColonel st Clair (Barrie Ingham), a personal aide to the President and one of the cabinet members, discloses what the government knows to his new mistress Denise (Olga Georges-Picot), who passes this information on to her OAS contact.\nMeanwhile, Lebel determines that British suspect Charles Calthrop may be travelling under the name Paul Oliver Duggan, who died as a child, and has entered France.\nAlthough he is told the authorities know about the plot, the Jackal carries on.\nHe seduces the aristocratic Colette de Montpellier (Delphine Seyrig).\nJust before Lebel and his men arrive, the Jackal escapes and drives to Madame de Montpellier\'s country estate.\nAfter sleeping with her again and discovering that the police have talked to her, he strangles her.\nThe Jackal then assumes the identity of a bespectacled Danish schoolteacher named Per Lundquist.\nHe drives to the railway station and catches a train for Paris.\nAfter Madame de Montpellier\'s body is discovered and her car recovered at the railway station, Lebel initiates an open manhunt, no longer hindered by secrecy concerns.\nThe Jackal allows himself to be picked up at a Turkish bathhouse and taken to the man\'s flat.\nThe next day, the Jackal kills his host after the man learns from a television broadcast that "Lundquist" is wanted for murder.\nAt a meeting with the Interior Minister\'s cabinet, Lebel states his belief that the Jackal will attempt to shoot de Gaulle three days later on Liberation Day, during a ceremony honouring members of the French Resistance.\nLater, Lebel plays a recording of a phone call, in which st Clair\'s mistress gives information to her OAS contact.\nst Clair leaves the meeting.\nDenise returns to st Clair\'s apartment to find that he has killed himself and that the police are waiting for her.\nOn Liberation Day, the Jackal, disguised as an elderly veteran amputee, enters the building he had chosen earlier.\nHe assembles his rifle, disguised as one of his crutches, and waits at a window in an upper apartment.\nWhen Lebel finds out a policeman allowed a man to pass through the cordon, the two race to the building.\nAs de Gaulle presents the first medal, the Jackal shoots, but misses when the tall president leans down to kiss the recipient on the cheek.\nLebel and the policeman burst in.\nThe Jackal shoots the policeman, but Lebel kills him.\nThe Jackal is later buried in an unmarked grave.\nWhile searching his flat, police are confronted by Charles Calthrop, who insists on accompanying them to Scotland Yard.\nHe is later cleared, leading to the film\'s final line: "but if the Jackal wasn\'t Calthrop, then who the hell was he.\n".
