clock faces...how many?


There are loads! Why?

reply

To signify the time deadline involved in stopping the Jackal from assassinating De Gaulle. Ever see the classic western High Noon? Same thing, lots of shots of clocks.

From the trivia:

"The Day of the Jackal (1973)

There are 31 individual insert shots of clocks in the movie. By contrast, High Noon (1952), also directed by Fred Zinnemann and more directly concerned with the passage of time, contains only 13 insert shots of clocks."
