5.0 out of 5 stars The Greatest Car Chase I Ever Seen!, November 27, 2009

This review is from: Bullitt (VHS Tape)

Bullit (1968) is an icon in crime & action movies, with the unforgettable car chase!

The story is about Detective Bullit who is charged by politician Walter Chalmers to take into custody and protect 48 hours a key witness against the Mafia.
Even if Bullit take all precautions Mob's hit men succeed in wounding the witness and his guard. Chalmers menaces to blame Police Department and Bullit personally for the failure.
The witness dies at hospital and Bullit, with the help of a physician, smuggles the corpse and hide it in the Morgue as a Joe Doe. Then he leads his team in desperate search of the mobsters. What follows is the chronicle of the search against all odds and pressures.

Steve McQueen as Lt. Bullit gives one of his best characterizations, this is not little thing, considering his previous performances in "The Magnificent Seven" (1960), "The Great Escape" (1963) and the remarkable "The Thomas Crown Affair" (1968); the future ones in "The Towering Inferno" (1974) and "Tom Horn" (1980).
A very young and stylish Jacqueline Bisset fleshes Cathy, Bullit's fiancée; prolific Robert Vaughn gives Chalmers a poignant interpretation; Robert Duvall, more noted after his appearance in "The Godfather" (1972), acts as a taxi driver. All the cast performs over standard.

Director Peter Yates is at his best, only surpassed, IMHO by his film "The Dresser" (1983). Special mention must be done for Frank Keller editing awarded with an Oscar, William Fraker's cinematography and Argentinean Lalo Schifrin's musical score.

It is an extraordinary movie for all those interested in crime films and movie fans of every genre. Do not miss it!
