Peckinpah's control of the escalating frenzy is masterly"...Chris Peachment, Time Out Film Guide STEVE McQUEEN COLLECTION - DOUBLE FEATURE BULLITT Running time approximately 114 minutes LANGUAGE: English, French SUBTITLES: English, French, Spanish His new assignment seems routine: protecting a star witness for an important trial. But before the night is out, the witness lies dying and cool, no-nonsense Detective Frank Bullitt (Steve McQueen) won't rest until the shooters -- and the kingpin pulling their strings -- are nailed. From opening shot to closing shootout, BULLITT crackles with authenticity: San Francisco locations, crisp dialogue and to-the-letter police. This razor-edged thriller features one of cinema history's most memorable car chases. Buckle up...and brace for unbeatable action! PAPILLON Running time approximately 150 minutes LANGUAGE: English SUBTITLES: English, French One of the few people to successfully escape from the notorious French penal colony of Devil's Island, Steve McQueen plays the pugnacious Henri Charriere (known as "Papillon" or "butterfly," because of a prominent tattoo), incarcerated -- wrongly, he claims -- for murdering a pimp. He saves the life of a fellow convict Louis Dega (Dustin Hoffman), a counterfeiter who will later show his gratitude by helping Charriere in his many escape attempts, and by smuggling food to Charriere when the latter is put into solitary confinement. One breakout, which takes Charriere and Dega to a leper colony and then to a native encampment, is almost successful, but back the prisoners go to French Guinea. Years later, Dega is made a trustee and is content with his lot, but the aging, white-haired Charriere cannot be held back. A tribute to the unquenchability of the human spirit...
