96 years ago today, the English director Peter Yates was born in Aldershot, Hampshire.  Yates would go on to direct films in almost every genre but today, he’s perhaps best-remembered for directing what is considered to be one of the first great cop films, 1968’s Bullitt.  I already shared the film’s classic car chase film for Steve McQueen’s birthday so today, I’m going to share the airport showdown.
