Monday night, the Bryant Park outdoor summer film series sponsored by HBO is featuring one of the quintessential New York City crime dramas — the 1971 best picture Oscar winner “The French Connection,” starring Gene Hackman and Roy Scheider.
Can’t think of a better movie to see outside on a summer night with a bunch of movie-mad New Yorkers! The younger ones will no doubt be amazed by the rundown state of their city 40 years ago.
The lawn off Sixth Ave. (between 40th and 42nd streets) opens at 5 p.m.
The event is free. For more info, go to www.bryantpark.org
