is a 1968 American neo-noir action thriller film directed by Peter Yates and produced by Philip D'Antoni. The picture stars Steve McQueen, Robert Vaughn, Jacqueline Bisset, Don Gordon, Robert Duvall, Simon Oakland and Norman Fell. The screenplay by Alan R. Trustman and Harry Kleiner was based on the 1963 novel Mute Witness by Robert L. Fish, under the pseudonym Robert L. Pike. Lalo Schifrin wrote the original jazz-inspired score.The film was made by McQueen's Solar Productions company, with his partner Robert Relyea as executive producer. Released by Warner Bros.-Seven Arts on October 17, 1968, the film was a critical and box-office success, later winning the Academy Award for Best Film Editing (Frank P. Keller) and receiving a nomination for Best Sound. Writers Trustman and Kleiner won a 1969 Edgar Award from the Mystery Writers of America for Best Motion Picture Screenplay. Bullitt is famous for its car chase scene through the streets of San Francisco, which is regarded as one of the most influential in film history.In 2007, Bullitt was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress, as "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".Classic film from the 60s, with car chase, bad guys, good guys and Bullets.

Okay, lets talk about the difference between grain....and sharpness. The Blu ray transfer of this film is pin sharp,thats because the focus puller and camera man on the original film crew did a very good job and got everything in perfect focus!! The Blu Ray transfer does exemplify the characteristics of the film stock used in 1968....remember this is a film shot entirely on location in an almost semi/documentary style using film stock suited to low light levels and with a minimum use of suplementary lighting, by nature the film stock can be slightly grainy in places but that is no accident and can be considered a creative choice by the director to convey the gritty on the spot realism required. Actually in many ways this film set a trend, not just because of the car chase but the visual style and realistic/ urgent nature of the camera work spawned a slew of gritty action thrillers, (see French Connection/Blu Ray). There is no point in trying to compare the visual quality of a Blu Ray film like "Bullit" to a Blu Ray Bond film, for one thing the visual styles are so disparate as to be incomparable, Bond films present a saturated hyper reality, a high gloss to go with the high fantasy, "Bullitt" is a gritty cop thriller, it doesn't need cleaned up or made glossy like a modern film, watch it as it was intended to be, this Blu ray is good, its sharp, its clear, its grainy in places, its how it should be. I have the DVD and the Blu Ray is far superior...enjoy.

This film is so evocative of the 60s. That may seem a silly thing to say, after all that is when it was made, but watching this film doesn't leave you feeling you're watching something dated, it just leaves you feeling you want to be there, being him. The story is simple but gripping, the acting and dialog is superb, especially the scenes between McQueen and Robert Vaughn, the music is wonderful, and of course there is that utterly gorgeous Ford Mustang, and that noise, and THAT car chase. It was indeed the pioneer of the genre, and watching it too many times you can see all the flaws in the way it was put together, with multiple views of the same action being put back to back, but the film is nevertheless a true classic, and a genuinely watchable one at that.And let's also mention the brilliant advert for the Ford Puma that, using what was quite ground breaking computer wizardry at the time, put Steve at the wheel of a Puma driving around SF to that wonderful music. We bought a Ford Puma when they came out, pretty much solely off the back of that advert, and another one afterwards, so advertising CAN work! If you have never seen it, just search for McQueen Puma advert, you will find it easily.He was cool (Cooler King!) in The Great Escape, but I still think he's cooler here. Fab film. Think I will have to watch it again tonight now.

I have been meaning to see this film for years and I am delighted to have seen it atlast. A brilliant car chase and such cool acting by McQueen, a joy to watch.

Excellent

If this is something that you like then get it. Physical copies are becoming more and more rare, but right now the prices are lower than they have ever been, so go for it. It is better to physically own the things that you like because then you can watch them whenever you want, and if you have kids or ever do end up with kids, you’ll be able to show them the fantastic things without having to worry about them finding stuff you don’t want them to see.

100 % OK Goede verzending en besteld item beantwoorde volledig aan de beschrijvingvan de verkoper ( uiterst tevreden ):-):-):-)

alles super gut gelaufen bis dann

Not only is the transfer pretty good, the movie top notch and the acting from McQueen authentic and charismatic, the blu ray itself boasts a documentary length look into McQueen’s career and film editing in general with The Cutting Edge, which is worth the usually low price of this blu ray on its own. Excellent value, insight and entertainment

Grande Bullit. Ha segnato un epoca. Ha creato un mito per un grande attore e una gran macchina. Unico l'inseguimento in citta'
