VHS's and DVD players) you will notice a green VW Beetle Steve passes several times. Now if that films won an Oscar for best Editing (the green VW beetle) surely theres been a mistake just look at the Action or Cinematography which should of won Oscars but only BAFTA's.

Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of Bullitt (DVD)
Advantages: Once unique, gritty realistic, crime thriller still dazzles. Disadvantages: It's much more subtle than what today's audiences are used to.
late 60's (muscle car) automobiles racing through the streets of San Francisco. Director Yates is a cameraman and editor himself, he knows how to make a sequence work to its fullest effect. In this film he used William A Fraker as his cinematographer who create a realistic yet smooth (as opposed to a rough documentary type) look for the film. The film was written by Alan R. Trustman. It was nominated for a Best Sound Oscar and won an Oscar for Best Editing.
This is one of the best performances SteveMcQueen ever gave. He gives the role the intensity and depth it warrants while still moving about as gracefully as a Panther. Bullitt and Junior Bonner remain my favorite McQueen performances. He is certainly no slacker in either The Great Escape or The Sand Pebbles either.

FILM REVIEW ONLY
***************
It's very hard to believe that this classic cops and bad guys movie is now 40 years old. I remember watching it in the cinema (multiple viewings!) when it was released way back in 1968, and when the main star, SteveMcQueen was so hot a star he was almost a super nova!
Bullitt's plot was simple enough. A bad guy has decided he's going to turn "rat", and dish the dirt on his fellow gangsters in the Mob in exchange for immunity from prosecution. Naturally enough, his erstwhile gangster buddies don't take too kindly to the prospect of frying in the electric chair or spending the rest of their lives in the pokey, and are determined he'll never live to give his testimony.
Enter SteveMcQueen as San Francisco street cop Detective Frank Bullitt, who's remit from the state is simply to keep the said bad ...
Five features. In 'Bullitt' a battle of wills begins between a detective and a District Attorney over the possession of a key witness. Based on the novel by Robert L. Pike. Also 'The Cincinnati Kid', 'Never So Few', 'Tom Horn' and 'The Getaway'.
