Bullitt (1968)
BULLITT (1968) ¢ ¢ ¢ ¢ ¢
D: Peter Yates
Steve McQueen, Robert Vaughn, Jacqueline Bissett,
Don Gordon, Simon Oakland, Robert Duvall, Norman Fell
A police detective tangles with a slimeball politician while trying to solve the murder of the key witness in a hearing on organized crime. One of the best cop thrillers ever, with a propulsive jazz score by Lalo Schiffrin, sneering villainy by Robert Vaughn, Jacqueline Bissett as eye candy with class, and the wary, tight-lipped coolness of Steve McQueen. And, uh, yeah, there's the car chase, with McQueen driving a legendary Ford Mustang all over San Francisco real fast. Better buckle up, just to be safe.
