UK Quad "Style-A" poster for Peter Yates' action thriller Bullitt (1968) starring Steve McQueen, who was at the height of his success at the time. The famed car chase scene, in which McQueen did all his own driving, set a new standard for all such action sequences to follow. Tom Chantrell's poster design/illustration presents a close-up image of McQueen's face with his gun prominently displayed. This design feature would appear in Bill Gold's posters for Dirty Harry (1971). One of the most collectable of all Steve McQueen Quad titles.
