Bullitt (1968 Peter Yates)

Cool, almost documentary-like treatment of detective thriller owes something to the French, but falls short of a Melville. McQueen is cool, Vaughan villainous, Bisset's a non role.

San Francisco car chase (without music) is still great; Q says the whole thing is really well edited (by Frank Keller, won Oscar). Shot by William A Fraker and scored by Lalo Schifrin (as in la-di-da), cool credits by Pablo Ferro.
