Day of the Jackal

Tuesday March 23, 2021

Here is the official trailer for the 19743 movie Day of the Jackal. Anti Gaulists had tried and failed to assasinate Charles De Gaulle several times. In desperation they hire a professional hit man known only as Jackal, played by Edward Fox.

Watch the first few seconds of the trailer when Fox comments that whoever does this can never work again adn then demands half million dollars. Sounds cheap now but this is an event in  1961.

I have never forgotten that scene. When his wold be hires object to the price he replies, given I am handing you the keys to the kingdom of France I would think twice the fee would be reasonable.

Oe woudl think the kMichael Taylor 60 former Green Beret and his son Peter 28 might have at least stiudied the movie to get some hints on how to proceed. They were hired to extricate Carlos Ghosn former Nissan Renault CEO from Japan and return him to Lebanon. They sucessfully did that by hiding Ghosn in a large case designed to house musical equipment.

The odd thing to me is that they succeeded in getting him to Lebanon a country without a extradition treaty to Japan.

But incredibly they returned to their MA home. What were they thinking that an embarassed Japan would not seek extradition of both. And so they  were at home when the police arrived. Now they are in Japan, WSJ page b2 3/23/21. At least the term they are facing is only three years but individuals with lesser convictions have died in jail.

Amazing, one would think part of the deal would have been assured residence in  Lebanon and enogh money to live the rest of their lives

What were they thinking?
