Despite the box office and Oscar winning success of A Man for All Seasons (1966), it would be several years before director Fred Zinnemann got behind the camera for another film, owing to issues with money and the decaying Hollywood studio system, which abruptly axed his next project – an adaptation of the novel Man’s Fate – just as it was about to start shooting in 1969 with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. When he did get back to filming, the result – an adaptation of Frederick Forsyth’s bestselling novel The Day of the Jackal – became an instant classic of suspense and reaffirmed his status as a master filmmaker. Now, Arrow Films brings this masterful gem of 1970’s cinema to Blu-ray in a wonderful release.
