Filming 'Bullitt' in San Francisco in the Spring of '68...

That 8th shot is so iconic.

A whole film in one frame.

Reminds me of this:-

I should’ve added that it is a Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic 1936.

How do I attach a whole, uncropped photo without the red lettering on it? The new regime has left me flummoxed

I think it's a fantastic film from start to finish, there's far more to it than the famous car chase, an aspect of the film which makes it easy for some to dismiss it altogether as just another car chase movie. Two of the most atmospheric films to come out the US were directed by Brits, this (by Peter Yates) and 'Point Blank', by John Boorman. The direction and pacing of both films is meticulous, with both directors having backgrounds in documentary film making. The icing on the cake with 'Bullitt' is Lalo Schifrin's terrific score.

Some more 'Bullitt' pics...
