“If Kathy hadn’t been there, I don’t think it would’ve made much difference.
“I don’t think so,” she continued.
“It’s a man’s story…
Jacqueline Bisset and Steve McQueen in ‘Bullitt.’.
I thought it was a valid role from my point of view.
I thought, ‘How rude!
So what if it is a girlfriend role?
It was his character and the police story.”
Muller also echoed the film’s essential nature playing a core role in sidelining Bisset’s role.
“The movie is about a very closed-off man,” he tells EW.
“He was actually sort of alley cat-ish.
“The word ‘cool’ means different things to different people,” she quips.
I would’ve used the word ‘hot’ personally.”
“He had that mysterious smoldering thing,” she adds.
He didn’t seem to be someone who was showing his body off.
He wasn’t narcissistic looking.
He was low-key, that was the way I saw him…
He was a good, regular, handsome man.
That’s how I would describe him.
Rather how I feel about Brad Pitt, the regular quality in a good way.”
The TCM Classic Film Festival is airing on TCM and streaming on HBO Max through Sunday, May 9.
