Bullitt Wikipedia. Bullitt is a 1. 96. American thriller film directed by Peter Yates and produced by Philip DAntoni. It stars Steve Mc. Queen, Robert Vaughn, and Jacqueline Bisset. The screenplay by Alan R. Trustman and Harry Kleiner was based on the 1. Mute Witness,5 by Robert L. Fish, writing under the pseudonym Robert L. Pike. 7Lalo Schifrin wrote the original jazz inspired score, arranged for brass and percussion. Robert Duvall has a small part as a cab driver who provides information to Mc. Queen. The film was made by Mc. Queens Solar Productions company, with his partner Robert E. Relyea as executive producer. Released by Warner Bros. Seven Arts on October 1. Academy Award for Best Film Editing Frank P. Keller and receiving a nomination for Best Sound. Writers Trustman and Kleiner won a 1. Edgar Award from the Mystery Writers of America for Best Motion Picture Screenplay. Bullitt is also notable for its car chase scene through the streets of San Francisco, regarded as one of the most influential in movie history. In 2. 00. 7, Bullitt was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress, as culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant. Ambitious politician Walter Chalmers is about to present a surprise star witness in a Senate subcommittee hearing on organized crime. The witness, Johnny Ross, a defector from the Organization in Chicago, is put under San Francisco Police Department SFPD protective custody for the weekend, 4. Monday morning appearance. To improve his own image, Chalmers requests SFPD Lieutenant Frank Bullitt, who is well liked by the local media. Bullitt and his team, Delgetti and Stanton, put Ross under around the clock protection in a cheap hotel selected by Chalmers. At 1 0. 0 a. m., while Bullitt is with his girlfriend Cathy, Stanton is on solo duty when the desk clerk unexpectedly calls to announce that Chalmers wants to come up. While Stanton checks by phone with Bullitt, Ross unchains the hotel room door. A pair of hitmen burst in and shoot Stanton and Ross, seriously wounding both. At the hospital, Chalmers holds Bullitt responsible. Later, a second assassination attempt is thwarted by Bullitt, but Ross soon dies of his original injuries. Helped by a sympathetic Dr. Willard, who had been snubbed by Chalmers, Bullitt delays news of the death by sending the body to the morgue as a John Doe. Bullitt and Delgetti investigate. Bullitt finds Weissberg, the cab driver who drove Ross to the hotel, and recreates Ross journey when he arrived in town, learning that he made a long distance call from a phone booth. Bullitts confidential informant, Eddy, reveals that Ross was caught stealing 2 million 1. Chicago Mob and fled to San Francisco after escaping an attempted hit in Chicago. Meanwhile, Chalmers serves Bullitts captain with a writ of habeas corpus to force him to make Bullitt give up Ross. While driving his 1. Ford Mustang GT, Bullitt spots the Ross hitmen tailing him in a 1. Dodge Charger RT. He maneuvers to get behind them, they attempt to flee, and a high speed muscle car chase ensues through the hilly streets of San Franciscos Russian Hill and out onto the highway, ending when the Mustang forces the Charger off the road and into a gas station, causing a fiery explosion that incinerates the hitmen. Bullitt and Delgetti face their superiors. They reveal that Ross is dead and that their only lead is phone records showing that Rosss call was to a Dorothy Simmons in a hotel in nearby San Mateo. It is Sunday the detectives are given until Monday to follow up the lead. With his car out of commission, Bullitt gets a ride from Cathy in her Porsche 3. The detectives find Dorothy Simmons strangled to death. Cathy sees police rushing in and follows, fearing for Bullitt. Afterwards, horrified by the crime scene, she confronts him about his violent world, wondering whether she even really knows him. Back in San Francisco, Bullitt and Delgetti search Simmonss luggage, discovering mens and womens clothing, empty ticket and passport folders, a travel brochure for Rome, and thousands of dollars in travelers checks made out to Albert and Dorothy Renick. Bullitt requests passport information for the Renicks and a fingerprint check for the dead Ross. Chalmers again confronts Bullitt, demanding a signed admission that Ross died while in his custody. Bullitt refuses. A facsimile of Albert Renicks passport application arrives, showing the man they thought was Ross was actually Renick, a used car salesman from Chicago with no criminal record. Bullitt points out that Chalmers was duped by the real Ross, who used Chalmers to fake his own death by setting up Renick similar in appearance to Ross to die, then murdered the wife to complete the cover up. Delgetti discovers reservations for the Renicks on an evening flight to Rome. He and Bullitt head to San Francisco International Airport to look for the real Ross, who must be traveling as Renick. They stake out the Rome flight gate, only to find that Ross has switched to an earlier flight to London that is already taxiing toward takeoff. Chalmers shows up to lay claim to the real Ross, even though he is now wanted for murder, and is again rebuffed by Bullitt. Bullitt has the plane stopped, but Ross escapes. A foot chase across the busy runways ends in a tense pursuit inside the crowded passenger terminal. When Ross bolts and shoots a security guard, Bullitt shoots and kills Ross. Left behind, empty handed, is Chalmers, who is driven off in a Lincoln limousine with a Support Your Local Police bumper sticker. Early the next morning, Bullitt drives home. As he walks up to his apartment, he spots Cathys car. He looks in and sees her sleeping in his bedroom, but he does not wake her. He takes off his gun and balances it on a banister. As he begins to wash up at the bathroom sink, he looks up into his own reflection and contemplates himself for a long moment. ProductioneditBullitt was co produced by Mc. Queens Solar Productions and Warner Bros. Seven Arts, the film pitched to Jack L. Warner as doing authority differently. DevelopmenteditBullitt was director Yates first American film. He was hired after Mc. Queen saw his 1. 96. UK feature, Robbery, with its extended car chase. Joe Levine, whose Embassy Pictures had distributed Robbery, did not much like it, but Trustman, who had seen the picture the very week he was writing the Bullitt chase, insisted that Mc. Queen, Relyea and DAntoni, none of whom had ever heard of Yates, see Robbery and consider Yates for director of Bullitt. CastingeditMc. Queen based the character of Frank Bullitt on San Francisco Inspector Dave Toschi, with whom he worked prior to filming. Mc. Queen even copied Toschis unique fast draw shoulder holster. Toschi later became famous, along with Inspector Bill Armstrong, as the lead San Francisco investigators of the Zodiac Killer murders that began shortly after the release of Bullitt. Toschi is played by Mark Ruffalo in the film Zodiac, in which Paul Avery Robert Downey, Jr. Mc. Queen got the idea for the holster from Toschi. RealismeditBullitt is notable for its extensive use of actual locations rather than studio sets, and its attention to procedural detail, from police evidence processing to emergency room procedures. Director Yates use of the new lightweight Arriflex cameras allowed for greater flexibility in location shooting. Car chaseeditAt the time of the films release, the car chase scene generated prodigious excitement. Leonard Maltin has called it a now classic car chase, one of the screens all time best. Emanuel Levy wrote in 2. Bullitt contains one of the most exciting car chases in film history, a sequence that revolutionized Hollywoods standards. In his obituary for Peter Yates, Bruce Weber wrote, Mr. Yates reputation probably rests most securely on Bullitt 1.
