CAR RIDE - II - Lot 31
CAR RIDE - II Steve McQueen and Jacqueline Bisset in a 1964 Porsche 356 C, during the filming of Peter Yates’s movie “Bullitt,” 1969. Photo, vintage silver print, credits below the image, stamped and annotated on the back. 20.6 x 25.5 cm. Note: This press photograph shows Steve McQueen and Jacqueline Bisset in a 1964 Porsche 356 C during the filming of *Bullitt*, directed by Peter Yates in 1968 and released in 1969. Framed from the front, the car fills nearly the entire image, highlighting the car’s importance to the film’s aesthetic. Steve McQueen, at the wheel, wears his famous sunglasses, while Jacqueline Bisset accompanies him in this scene shot on the roads of California. Bullitt has become a classic of action cinema thanks to its legendary car chase through the streets of San Francisco, which profoundly influenced the genre. While the famous Ford Mustang GT Fastback is the true star of the action sequences, this Porsche 356 C appears in more intimate scenes, illustrating the daily life of Lieutenant Frank Bullitt. All of this contributes to the image of Steve McQueen, a car enthusiast and the embodiment of the modern, elegant, and independent hero. A vintage silver-gelatin print with credits printed below the image, a stamp, and annotations on the back, this photograph is a sought-after memento of one of the most iconic films of the late 1960s and the enduring connection between Steve McQueen and automotive culture. Some spots have been retouched.
