Hello ep is the third and final album by the French Connection Orchestra, recorded in August 1972 for Columbia Records. The album contains a mixture of Ellis's film scores, and arrangements of popular pop songs with a tongue-in-cheek attitude. It was the Orchestra's last album before Ellis left Columbia for RCA.
The French Connection is a 1971 American crime drama film, directed by William Friedkin and starring Gene Hackman as Jimmy Doyle and Richard Widmark as Popeye Doyle. It was a critical and commercial success, winning five Academy Awards including Best Picture and also earning nominations for its screenplay, acting (Hackman), directing and cinematography. Its sequel,The french connection hello ep Connection II was released in 1975.
On June 3, the colorful internet columnist Jeffrey Wells (who has a gallery of betes noires that he summons upon waking each morning) published a bit of information that a reader had passed on to him, pointing out that a key exchange -- not an entire scene, but one that is significant and central to the movie's plotline, and also quite offensive -- had been unceremoniously cut from a version of the film available on streaming service the Criterion Channel. Apparently this was done in order to comply with Disney's (which bought 20th Century Fox and its film catalog) censorship guidelines.
