    When McQueen says, " This is the one building I figured wouldn't burn." Kinda put me in mind of the Titanic, for obvious reasons.

    I still recall seeing this film on initial release with my parents 50 years ago this summer. OJ Simpson was 26 and now he just passed away, age 76 from cancer. All that drama that ensued after his sports/acting career with his murder rap, the Las Vegas robbery and prison sentence-crazy.

      Same here, I watched it in the theatre with my parents too.
      O.J. Simpson was considered a great guy then and being that he was a football player and not a trained actor it was a big privilege for him to appear in a scene with stars like McQueen and Newman. Years later when he was charged with murder it was surreal.

      @@user-vv9np5iq7n Agree, It is surreal. And highly symptomatic of the era we’ve transcended, from a time of wide eyed filmic adventure, rising stars crossing over into a new realm…and then witnessing individual downfalls like this, part and parcel of the societal abyss we seem to be slowly entering.

      OJ Simpson in frame with Paul Newman and Steve McQueen is proof of an amazing journey of success. Twenty years after this movie the crash and burn of this man's actions eclipse all of these accomplishments. A beautiful Woman and her friend walked into the most horrific ending possible. Football, Films, Sportscasting, Spokesperson, all a footnote in a true crime biography now. Did anyone see the Jealousy and rage in this strong immature boy/man that needed to have his way or else ?

      Oddly enough Charles Bronson did not really like Steve McQueen ; it's here in a video somewhere talking about how Bronson thought a lot of what Steve McQueen presented to people was kind of a phony side and that he was actually considered rather spoiled and immature .
      But then again there's people who couldn't get along with Charles Bronson , for example a few stories about him being too bossy on sets and wanting to dominate the other actors .
      If you do the research you'll find some of it here .

    This is a well-written scene. Jernigan, who perhaps grew up poor and not long after the height of the civil rights movement, is incredulous that the fire chief wants to know who the business tenants are. The fire chief, perhaps understanding where Jernigan is coming from, politely explains without talking down to him. Jernigan immediately understands and quickly cooperates. O'Halloran just says, "Thank you."
