Bullitt (1968)
Written by Robert L. Fish, Alan TrustmanDirected by Peter YatesRunning Time: 100 minutes (approx)Production Year: 1968Rating: 15 CertificateProduction Country: USAFilmed in ColourThis 1968 crime thriller, starring Steve McQueen, rapidly achieved legendary status. That's somewhat surprising, considering that the script and plot - a San Francisco cop, determined to find out who killed a witness in his care - are a little mundane. But a combination of McQueen's deadpan and cool take on the character of maverick cop Frank Bullitt, a terrific support role from Robert Vaughn as a slimy politician, a storming, much-imitated car chase - bouncing over the San Francisco hills - and a superb score by Lalo Schifrin, rightly turned the film into a classic. While it may not be one of McQueen's better performances, it certainly helped to seal his position as a screen legend. When is Bullitt next on TV?
