The original story was written by Ian Fleming who died shortly before he was to pen the screenplay. The story is set in Iran and opens as an American undercover agent is murdered in the desert while attempting to buy opium. Two more agents are sent to Teheran to investigate the death and stop the powerful drug ring behind the smuggling. Once there they run into the dead agent's girl friend who soon after suddenly disappears. Unfortunately, they cannot find her and so focus on their other job. To figure out where the drugs are going (and hopefully get a lead on the missing girl) they steal a bunch of opium and lace it with radioactive tracers so they can track it with Geiger counters. They then follow the drugs as they are slowly dispersed throughout Europe. After many twists, turns and blind alleys, the agents eventually succeed. This film was originally made-for-TV and contains cameos from many stars who worked for little pay because they strongly supported its anti-drug message. Those stars include: Grace Kelly (who introduced the film) Omar Sharif, E.G. Marshall, Eli Wallach, Marcello Mastrioanni, and many more.

William Friedkin's classic policier was propelled to box-office glory, and a fistful of Oscars, in 1972 by its pedal-to-the-metal filmmaking and fashionably cynical attitude toward law enforcement. Gene Hackman's Popeye Doyle, a brutally pushy New York City narcotics detective, is a dauntless crime fighter and Vietnam-era "pig," a reckless vulgarian whose antics get innocent people killed. Loosely based upon an actual investigation that led to what was then the biggest heroin seizure in U.S. history, the picture traces the efforts of Doyle and his partner (Roy Scheider) to close the pipeline pumping Middle Eastern smack into the States through the French port of Marseilles. The actual French Connection cops, Eddie Egan and Sonny Grosso, make cameo appearances. It was widely recognized at the time that Friedkin had lifted a lot of his high-strung technique from the Costa-Gavras thrillers The Sleeping Car Murders and Z--he even imported one of Costa-Gavras's favorite thugs, Marcel Bozzuffi, to play the Euro-trash hit man plugged by Doyle in an elevated train station. An impressive official sequel followed in 1975, French Connection II, directed by John Frankenheimer, which took Popeye Doyle to the south of France and got him hooked on horse.

A Glimpse of Heaven Feature

• Bonus Features: A Glimpse of Fred (ACP Director of Music: Fred Gramann and Music Video "The Strangest Treasure" by Ian Ayres
• A film by Ian Ayres & Eric Ellena
• A French Connection Films/KTO/CFRT/ACP production
• In collaboration with the French Swiss Television (TSR) and the French Film Board (CNC)

Journey into the heart of the City of Lights to discover the first American church established on foreign and ultimate symbol of the United States in Europe. Affectionately known the world over as "ACP", the American Church in Paris is not only a melting pot like no other but has earned the appellation: "God's own United Nations". Experience true-life stories of people such as a refugee from Nigeria; an expatriate who feared ending up in a mental institution; and many more. There are multi-national couples, lonely students, residents of Paris, plus scores of visitors who found help, hope, and better lives through ACP.

A Multi-faceted mission with many outreach programs, including on that serves lunch to the homeless and another that helps regugees seeking asylum, The American Church in Paris is also a major community center. It provides space and resources for an impressive variety of international community activities and groups. More than 2,000 people use the facilities each day. From among hte 54 nations and 35 different denominations that make up the congregation of ACP, perishioners from all walks of life finally reveal what they have found in this large, beautiful sanctuary along the rive Seine. If heaven is going to be populated by people from every nation and tribe and culture and language on the planet, then the American Church in Paris truly does off a glimpse of heaven.

Yet, as the oldest American church on foreign soil is about to celebrate its 150th anniversary, its council is faced with serious challenges: the rise in the number of parishioners; increasing difficulties in finding funds for badly needed renovations and maintenance; not to mention recent rising tensions between the different ethnic communities. Will this highly symbolic landmark, so rich in history, be able to continue on and keep alive the best of American ideals and values?

From the Back:
Why is silence so hard to deal with? Why is it so much easier for us to live our lives with a lot of things going on all the time than to just be in silence? We're constantly surrounded with "voices" that are influencing us on how to think, feel, and behave. Movies, music, TV, Internet, cell phones, and a never-ending barrage of advertising. There's always something going on. Always noise in our lives. But
maybe there's a connection between the amount of noise in our lives and our inability to hear God. If God sometimes feels distant to us, maybe it's not because he's not talking to us, but simply because we aren't really listening.
