“In this work you simply can't afford to be emotional. That's why you've made so many mistakes.”—the Jackal
An elite assassin plots to kill French President Charles De Gaulle. This formidable villain, known only as the Jackal, is a master of disguise able to cross national boundaries with alarming ease. He operates without allegiance—except to his employer. So thorough in his preparations and so relentless in his advance upon his target, he seems unstoppable. Join former CIA master of disguise Tony Mendez for a special screening of The Day of the Jackal. Discover why Mendez considers this suspenseful 1973 portrayal of a professional hit man and the detective tasked with his capture so valuable that he used the film to train disguise and alternate-identity specialists at the Agency. Mendez will comment on the Jackal’s methods and reveal how they measure up to the realities of the 1970s and today.
