Bullitt is a 1968 thriller
film starring Steve McQueen.
It was distributed by Warner
Bros.
The director was Peter Yates.
The story was adapted for the
screen by Alan Trustman and
Harry Kleiner, based on the
novel titled Mute Witness
(1963) by Robert L. Fish (aka
Robert L. Pike). Lalo Schifrin
wrote the original music
score, a memorable mix of
jazz, brass and percussion.
The movie won the Academy
Award for Best Film Editing
(Frank P. Keller) and was
nominated 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 most-remembered for
its central car chase scene
through the streets of
downtown San Francisco, one of
the earliest and most
influential car chase
sequences in movie history.[1]
The scene had Bullitt in a
dark "Highland Green" 1968
Ford Mustang G.T.390 Fastback,
chasing two hit-men in a
"Tuxedo Black" 1968 Dodge
Charger R/T 440 Magnum. (In
honor of the Mustang in the
film, the Ford Motor Company
produced a limited edition
2001 Ford Mustang GT "Bullitt
Mustang," which took styling
cues from the '68 movie car
and even mimicked its exhaust
note).
