- A 'case in point' video, in which I examine a single scene from a classic film to illustrate sound execution of a cinematic principle.
This one features Peter Yates' Bullitt to explore subtext as presented in visual elements and dialogue.
Disclaimers: I am not a film scholar and am presenting only my own observations, for what they're worth. While I hope some may find my insights interesting, I do not claim they are definitive or exhaustive.

This is intended for viewers who are familiar with the film, but if spoilers are not a deterrent, it is not necessary to have seen the movie to follow this video.

Comic relief from Don Gordon's Delgetti and Simon Oakland as the best boss you can have are under appreciated.
An excellent analysis of character in a film which is very underrated.
I like the scene in the music bar when SM and JB catch a glimpse of each other. No dialogue, just great acting.
Also, those deliciously quiet moments when the actors are just standing or thinking e.g when SM enters the hotel room and surveys the evidence. Or when the 4 detectives are simply staring at the photocopier.
Less is more! 👍
This is such a great film, you have to watch it a number of times to really appreciate what is going on and who is working for who.
Nice to see analysis of the relationship between the Chalmers and Bullit .
Short but accurate.
One of the scenes in the movie that I like the most is when they are all in the photo copier room and the image of Al Rennick is produced , and Chalmers is asking the question : who's Al Rennick ? And Lt . Bullitt tells him .... he's the man who was shot at The Hotel Daniels .
You sent us to guard the wrong man Mr . CHALMERS . AND SEN. CHALMERS is standing there looking and "feeling" like a 1st . Class Fool 😄 .
SM was the best over many years
I watched Bullitt recently and I think that Robert Vaughn pretty much steals every scene he's in. Chalmers is such an unlikable character and Vaughn plays him well. You want punch Chalmers when he gets in the Captain's face outside of the church. The man wants to spend some time with his family while Chalmers is being a pushy little shit.
