Shaft and French Connection 1971
#14
I was also impressed by Roy Snyder in this film too. For me his performance in The Marathon Man was also excellent.

But I have a question. I recall a scene where Doyle and his partner were present in the Cocabanana nightclub eyeing wise guys and it was there where he got a lead. I've Googled but can't find any mention of this in the film's locations etc. Am I mis-remembering?

I certainly hope not, because I was so taken with the film at the time, that on a business visit to Manhattan in the late 1970's, I even spent an evening in the Cocabanana chewing a burned steak and listening to a second rate band. Very disappointing.
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
