You could call him the still one. McQueen had a talent for portraying quite a lot with minimal dialog and that’s the blueprint he liked it. He has maybe 75 lines off dialog in “The Lovely Seven” yet his presence is equal to that of star Yul Brynner. You’d be forgiven for being confused about which Steve McQueen boxed station to hold. MGM has recently released “The Steve McQueen Collection” which features four McQueen classics that have previously been available on DVD; “The Thomas Crown Affair”, “The Lovely Seven”, “Junior Bonner” and “The Large Rush”.

“The Principal Steve McQueen Collection” is a different beast entirely; it does feature 1 title that is no different than the previously issued version -”Papillon”. All the rest have either never been issued or, in the case of “Bullitt”, are now in two disc deluxe editions that beget this region a worthwhile addition to any collection.
The crown jewel of this situation is the original deluxe edition of “Bullitt”. McQueen plays San Francisco detective Frank Bullitt. He’s been assigned to protect a eye for a major trial. The gaze, though, is murdered. Before the post-mortem has begun, Bullitt hunts for the killers and plans on nailing them. Featuring an improbable high urge budge through the streets of San Francisco and shot entirely on place, “Bullitt” was Peter Yates’ first major US film and it crackles with energy.

“Papillon” tells the anecdote of a thief nick-named Papillon for the mammoth butterfly tattooed on his chest. (McQueen) framed for execute in France and sent to Devil’s Island for life. From the moment he steps on the boat headed to the prison he’s planning his dash. He agrees to protect a financial thief Louis Dega (Dustin Hoffman) . Schaffner’s film portrays Papillon’s attempt to survive on Devil’s Island until he can figure out an race belief. Although this isn’t Schaffner’s best film, it has a number of great moments that equal his classic films “Patton”, “Planet of the Apes” and “The War Lord”. McQueen more than holds his maintain with intention actor Hoffman.
“The Cincinnati Kid” features McQueen as Eric Stoner a spin playing ace who challenges the best gambler around “the Man” Lancey Howard (Edward G. Robinson) . A terrific performance by Edward G. Robinson allows Robinson to almost consume the relate under McQueen’s nose. With a terrific supporting cast, “The Cincinnati Kid” would be one of the most memorable films about gambling until “Rounders” three decades later.
“Never So Few” features McQueen in the third billed role of Bill Ringa a member of the O.S.S. fighting the Japanese during World War II in Burma. Ringa and his Captain Tom Reynolds (Frank Sinatra) are in Burma to allege the Kachin natives in how to fight the Japanese. Reynolds fights dirty when Chinese rebels wrong over to Burma to extinguish and loot the American soldiers stationed there. Although it’s not one of director John Sturges (“The Ravishing Seven”. “Ice Plot Zebra”) best films, “Never So Few” provides McQueen with a role that continued his breakthrough as a actor. It also inspired Sturges to cast McQueen in “The Heavenly Seven”.
“The Getaway” almost got away without being made. Originally Peter Bogdanovich was to assert with his girlfriend actress Cybil Shepherd in the lead. When she dropped out so did Bogdanovich. Luckily director Sam Peckinpah stepped in and the rewritten script by Walter Hill was tooled for McQueen. Scandal broke out on the site when McQueen became eager with his co-star Ali McGraw (who was then married to Paramount head Robert Evans) . McQueen plays thief Doc McCoy who has been paroled. The only predicament is that Sheriff Beynon (Ben Johnson) expects him to do a colossal robbery for him. He plans on killing McCoy afterward but things don’t quite work out the draw that Beynon intended.
“Tom Horn” (McQueen) a tracker and “enforcer” who dispensed justice in the passe west takes a job to discontinuance cattle thieves. When things accumulate messy and Horn has to waste some of the rustlers, the ranchers who hired him want Horn stopped. He’s place on trial for the slay of a 15 year faded boy. The next to last film McQueen made before he died in 1980, is a surprisingly mighty and vast western. The screenplay by novelist/screenwriter Thomas McGuane (“The Missouri Breaks”, “92 in the Shade”, “Rancho Deluxe”) and Bub Shrake (“Nightwing”, “J.W. Coop”, “Songwriter”) portrays a character out of time; Horn’s style of dispensing justice faces the gray world of corruption and politics. McQueen gives one of his best nuanced performances in a film that didn’t do all that well at the box office. It’s a pity as it’s a big movie that deserves a wider audience. Luckily, for those who choose the boxed status they’ll finally win a chance to study this classic western.
The previous DVD edition of “Bullitt” looked quite honorable but can’t compare to the newly digitally remastered transfer here. Image clarity, color and detail for “Bullitt” is wonderful. The sound is surprisingly spry with a nice 5.1 remix that doesn’t quite expend the format to its best advantage but that’s not a surprise given that the film is nearly 40 years used. “Papillon” comes with the same transfer as it received in 2000. Image quality is splendid but the negative could utilize restoration and/or digital filtering to elegant up the print/improve it. It does feature a new 5.1 remix (which wasn’t advertised on the box of the previous release and I don’t retract if it had it or not on the 1999 release but I suspect not) .The colors aren’t quick-witted and vibrant but they fit the general atmosphere of the film and are fairly factual to the recent theatrical exhibition if a bit veteran. “The Getaway” looks terrific again considering the age of the movie. The blacks are rock solid and the colors as colorful and radiant as they’ve ever been. There’s the occasionally soft image but, on the whole, “The Getaway” looks satisfactory. “Never So Few” also looks quite ample particularly when you reflect the age of the negative. It receives a solid transfer with intellectual colors and nice image clarity. “The Cincinnati Kid” also looks exceptionally genuine with nice color reproduction and image quality. It’s sure that some digital restoration was done to the most unique releases here and “Kid” does abet from it. “Tom Horn” looks extremely kindly with moving images, colorful and radiant colors. Although a tad grainy (like most of the films here) that has more to do with the stock obsolete to shoot the films and the condition of the negative than the transfer. In most cases, the graininess adds to the character of the films. All six films feature 2.0 Dolby Digital Surround soundtracks (in addition to the 5.1 remasters for “Papillon”) . All sound crisp with nice clarity to the dialog and music.
“Bullitt” gets the most attention here. Featuring two heavenly documentaries on the film and McQueen, we also catch the current vintage featurette on the film. “The Cutting Edge” examines the the art of movie editing with a contemplate into other films during the editing process as well. “Steve McQueen: The Essence of Wintry” is a terrific biography on McQueen that provides a lot of information previously unknown about the actor. There’s also the modern theatrical trailer included as well. “The Getaway” features the unusual theatrical trailer only. “Papillon” has the unusual promotional featurette produced for the film as piece of the extras as well as the trailer. “The Cincinnati Kid”, “Never So Few” and “Tom Horn” all have only the unique theatrical trailer for the respective films. It’s a pity that Warner chose not to do a documentary or at the very least a featurette on “Tom Horn”. Since it’s about a precise historical figure and making the film was a passion for McQueen, it would have been appropriate and provided noteworthy needed information on the historical figure and the production of this resplendent overlooked film.
“Bullitt” comes with an safe commentary by director Peter Yates. “The Getaway” features a “virtual” commentary culled from interviews of McQueen, Peckinpah and McGraw as well as a commentary by Peckinpah biographers/documentarians Carve Redman, Paul Seydor, Garner Simmons and David Weddle. “The Cincinnati Kid” has a valid trivia filled commentary track by director Norman Jewison.
Between this release and “The Steve McQueen Collection”, McQueen fans will have most of his valuable films. Although there are a few gems missing from these collections (due to contractual issues no doubt), most of the films here are among the best McQueen made. “The Getaway” and “Bullitt” receive most of the attention here with terrific commentary tracks and extras. “Papillon” probably could have customary a face engage with a novel digital transfer and a commentary track by a film historian (or Dustin Hoffman) but it looks like we’ll have to wait for this minor classic to glean its due another time. The other missed opportunity in this trustworthy status is the lack of extras for “Tom Horn” One of McQueen’s finest later films and a terrific western that presaged films like “The Unforgiven”, “Launch Range” and “Wyatt Earp”, it’s a perfect period section about the transition of the passe west into civilization and those who were lost along the method.
If anyone deserves a box state it’s Seve McQueen. The greatest of the Hollywood “Mans Man”. McQueen made some large movies for Warner Brothers as he did for MGM before them, and we are lucky to pick up the fabulous Warner Brothers DVD treatment that they have bestowed on their novel box plot.
While The Ample Rush is my personal common McQueen film I am gay to eye BULLIT, and NEVER SO FEW in the same situation. It’s dazzling amusing seeing a movie not starring Steve McQueen in his box state. Never so few was a staring vehicle for Frank Sinatra, but because of his scene stealing co-star Sinatra went on recount as calling NEVER SO FEW a McQueen film. It also had a big Director John Sturges who also made THE Radiant SEVEN, and THE Substantial Flee with McQueen.
PAPILLON, THE GETAWAY, THE CINCINATTI KID, and the very underated TOM HORN are also included in the awesome box situation. I was not yet born when Steve McQueen passed away, but I can state you this, I have not been on the planet for more than twenty three years, but I can safely say that there has not been a actor/stuntman cooler than Steve McQueen.
