i be bear in 68 with not much parental guidance as far a what i watch on tv ( a a kid in the 70 ) . i always love this movie ( and the french connection ) and would always try to catch it whenever it be on ( check the sunday tv guide ahead of time ) . i buy it on dvd a few year ago and have watch it twice since then and i must say and i still love it . roy s. be a great actor from the 70 ( jaw be one of my all time favs and marathon man etc ) and although the 7 ups be not an oscar worthy film and it put you precisely in a time a place ( ny and early 70 and as do french connection ) and give you some tough character and a glimpse of life a a cop at that time . and yes and the car chase be one of the all time best .
