Cinema Retro writer Steve Mori presents his own exclusive interview with Steve McQueen, who he met as a teenage on the set of Bullitt. When he was in high school, Mori was assigned to do an interview with anyone of prominence. While most students opted for the local fire chief or dog catcher, Mori boasted he would get an interview with his favorite actor Steve McQueen - despite the fact he had never met him, had no connection to the movie business and that his idoll rarely granted interviews. For Mori's full report and the interview McQueen ended up granting him on the set of The Reivers, see Cinema Retro issue #1.
