Comments

Finally saw it after 30 years, what a bore. This was a much talked about movie 30 years ago but while I was busy working 2 jobs I had no time for the movies.Now I finally saw it today and I cannot understand what the big deal was.The version that I saw it was in non widescreen and I am sure that I lost a lot by the pan and scan.Anyone recognize Bill Hickman as the gunstore salesman?He was the driver of the Charger in Bullitt.Mark Frechette was arrested shortly after the movie came out for a robbery and got a long sentence in a Mass. State Prison.He was murdered while in prison for suspicious reasons.His acting was poor anyway and never would have became anything.He was like a poor man's Michael Sarrazin.I am glad that I finally saw it but was totally disappointed.
