Farewell Bullitt?

In 1969, 50 years ago, Bullitt was still drawing crowds in Columbus, Ohio. This ad came from a Feb 21st paper and, despite the threat to close in just a week, I believe it stayed on well into March. Ah, those days when movies ran for months in theaters, largely because they would only be at one or two locations, not spread out in many multiplexes like today.

I didn't see this movie until a couple of years ago. Coming so late to the game, I must admit I didn't see much in it, except for the super-duper car chase through the streets of San Francisco. Otherwise, it seemed like a routine tough-cop thriller.
