Movie Review: Bullitt


AWESOMENESS !!!

Steve McQueen - BULLITT

He did whole lot of things for this movie including driving the car himself in the great car chase in San Fransisco. Year 1968.

No damn studios here - real hospital - real streets - real airport.

Even the doctors and nurses shown in the hospital scenes are actual doctors/ nurses - not actors.

Great stuff.

I have a DVD which they call "New Digital Transfer" - whatever that means.

Jacqueline Bisset as I have never seen her before - she looks so innocent and beautiful instead of the gorgeous bomb she is in later movies. She is actually perfect opposite copper BULLITT who wouldn't be attracted to fake smiles, glam or artificial beauty.

She looks splendid in her small role. As does Robert Duvall, so young he is in the movie.

I have the Special Features which has "Steve McQueen's dedication to reality" - a great small feature that shows how he did himself - all that action and making a REAL story instead of a glam movie.
