Frank Bullitt (Steve McQueen) is a detective for the San Francisco police department and is asked by a politician to protect a witness but runs into problems when a bad guy shoots the witness and someone follows him when he tries to discover who it is. One kewl customer, Bullitt finds the politician (Robert Vaughn) breathing down his neck but never relents to the pressure. Fantastic car chase in hilly San Fran caught my eye but what I liked best about BULLITT is the lieutenant's no-nonsense-up-yours attitude that later detective films borrowed in giving us Harry Callahan. This is the man I want to play Dirty Harry.[4.3 stars]
