Bullitt (1968)
Bullitt is the film that turned the car chase into an art form. Its ten-minute pursuit through the hills of San Francisco won Frank P. Keller the Academy Award for Best Film Editing, and McQueen, a serious racer off screen, did a share of the driving himself. One of the two Highland Green Mustangs vanished from view for decades, resurfaced in 2018, and sold at auction in 2020 for $3.74 million, a record for any Mustang. Ford has since built special Bullitt editions of the car three times in tribute, and McQueen's roll-neck and herringbone jacket are still copied by menswear designers more than half a century later.
The French Affiche was designed by Michel Landi, one of the great names in French film poster art of the period. His McQueen is widely regarded as one of the finest designs produced for the film in any country, and original French examples are now hard to come by.
