The French Connection (disambiguation) was a major illegal drug ring in Marseilles, France, that trafficked heroin to the United States. It was broken up by police in the 1970s.
It’s a good idea to have at least a few ways of greeting people in French up your sleeve. You never know when you may need to say hello or goodbye in a foreign language. Here are some of the most common ones:
Bonjour
This is probably the most commonly used way to greet people in French. It means "hello" and can be used to greet both men and women of any age or social status. It is generally said in a more formal setting, but it can also be casual when spoken to friends or family members.
Comment vas-tu?
This phrase, which is almost the same as how are you in English, is used to ask how a person is doing. It is usually followed by a response such as je vais bien, merci or je suis contente, vous?
Allo is a very informal greeting and it is often used by children. It can be used to greet both male and female friends or The french connection kissed family members of any age or social status. It is also sometimes used in movies when two characters who have just woken up kiss each other on the cheek (although it may have different results depending on the movie).
In addition to Ellis’s original score for The French Connection, this release includes his complete underscore for the 1975 sequel directed by John Frankenheimer. The new material, which is presented as it was conceived and composed by Ellis, adds to the overall quality of the film. It features truly experimental techniques alongside more accessible themes for the French mobsters and hardworking cops.
A special feature is a booklet that shows the cues in their original format, with notes from the composer explaining how they were intended to be used in the movie. It is a fascinating and valuable resource for anyone interested in French Connection or in the work of Jerry Ellis.

Fashion retailer French Connection, which is known as FCUK in the UK, has reported a fall in like-for-like sales in its European stores. This is as a result of competition from faster-fashion chains such as H&M and Inditex’s Zara.
Last month, the brand’s ad campaign featuring Eva Herzigova in a bust-enhancing bra was banned by the UK’s Advertising Standards Authority for being “inappropriate and misleading.” However, the retailer recently announced that retail sales were up 5.6 percent on a like-for-like basis in the 15 weeks to May 10. This is its best performance since the summer of 2014. The company also said it would close two loss-making stores. It has 131 stores in the UK and Europe. It also sells its clothing online. The brand is owned by Sir Philip Green, the owner of retail chain Argos. The retailer has seen its share price rise by more than 70 percent this year.
