THURSDAY AUGUST 29 DOUBLE FEATURE
BULLITT 7:00
Classic San Francisco police procedural stars Steve McQueen as Frank Bullitt, a cool cop aggressively investigating a mob hit in the face of politico intervention. Peter Yates’s taut direction makes great use of The City and the famous car chase remains one to be outdone. This Castro Theatre favorite co-stars a steely Robert Vaughn, the gorgeous Jaqueline Bisset, and a groovy score by Lalo Schifrin. (1968, 114 min, 35mm)
+ DIRTY HARRY 9:10
Clint Eastwood’s renegade detective Harry Callahan throws due process out the window when it stands in the way of apprehending a hippie psycho on the loose in SF. Don Siegel’s crisp, beautifully paced film is a quintessential work of ‘70s action cinema, stunningly shot by Bruce Surtees and scored by Lalo Schifrin. (1971, 102 min, 35mm ‘Scope)
