Arguably the best crime film of 1968, and certainly one of the most influential films of the genre….”Bullitt” established unusual directions in the mood and style of crime thrillers, and firmly established McQueen as one of the key anti-hero stars of the 60′s. Based on the gritty recent “Quiet Examine” by Robert L. Pike, this was the first, and only, time McQueen portrayed a police officer (albeit a maverick one) in his movie career. In 1968 Steve was then riding high on the success of his previous heist film, “The Thomas Crown Affair”, and “Bullitt” fair propelled his star even higher into the cinematic heavens!

The spot is tight, economical and well crafted….taciturn, morose Detective Frank Bullitt (McQueen) is charged with the protection of a key leer essential to an upcoming trial spirited Mafia connections. Whilst hidden away in a supposed catch dwelling, the scrutinize and his police guard are brutally gunned down by unknown assailants. The heat is turned up on Bullitt by his tough Captain (Simon Oakland) and the manipulative, opportunistic politician Walter Chalmers (Robert Vaughn) to arrive up with the factual answers hastily! Between the draining investigation, Bullitt struggles to believe his relationship with his cultured, sensitive girlfriend, Cathy (Jacqueline Bisset)
Primarily coming from a TV series background, Englishman Peter Yates (directing his fourth movie) did a commendable job as director on “Bullitt”…producing a complex, intense crime thriller with a recent style that would ultimately influence many other films. Yates would later to go onto drawl tough guy Robert Mitchum in the genuine 1973 “sleeper” crime film “The Friends of Eddie Coyle”!

And of course “Bullitt” is reknowned for it’s now legendary car gallop between Frank Bullitt’s 390 GT Mustang and the two hitmen in their dismal, Dodge Charger 440 Magnum barrelling through the city streets and highways of San Francisco….honest don’t pay too worthy attention to how many times they pass that slow-moving, green VW Beetle!!
The DVD transfer is great in both sound and portray quality, and the Tiny Edition Collectors Area with the additional goodies (Single sheet poster, shooting draft, lobby cards etc.) is a accurate bonus for interested film fans!!
One of my favourite cop thrillers….McQueen sizzles on camouflage!!
I have read GQ and other men’s fashion magazines for the last 20 years. No single person is mentioned as a men’s style icon more often than Steve McQueen, and this movie defines his style most clearly. What I assume that is not often understood, is why his style is so beloved. It is minimalist, yes, but also, this is someone not playing the middle class America game.
1) He lives in a microscopic apartment. The furniture is ordinary, with a few hip 60′s touches. (Ogle for the report over his bed, his paisley bathrobe, the cold paper hanging lampshade, and a couple of hippie style items on the walls) . You glean the impression he owns about six pairs of clothes at most. He eats cheap frozen dinners (except for the occasional date at the frosty San Fran Restaurant) . He is not wasting this time and life keeping up with the Jones’s.
2.) He is not climbing the career ladder. On this case, he doesn’t give a opinion to politics. He is not chasing the American ideal of success.
3.) Survey closely and you will seek his car, the most renowned in any movie ever, is a olive drab color. Not candy apple gleaming red. It is a Mustang, a symbol of blue collar America. It is dusty, and he parks it in the street, not a garage. He does not eye it for door dings every time he goes out to it. It has dents in it. You rep the impression he doesn’t exercise his free time polishing and waxing it.
4.) He doesn’t employ his time chasing money. He spends it on his job, trying to do what he thinks is good, not what is suitable for office politics and promotion.
5.) His clothes are 60′s pre-hippie fashion perfection (see for the extremely tapered legs, the suede loafers, and of course the notorious tweed blazer and blue turtleneck) .
In summary, I mediate it is amusing that people idolize McQueen’s personal style in this movie and yet they don’t realize why. It is not objective the stoicism, or minimalism. It is the ragged fashion American values (assume Veteran West) . Honest something to assume about as you spy one of my accepted movies of all time.
