Loved the documentary, 26 February 2007
Author: yamatji from Australia

Loved the documentary "Essence of Cool". I'd seen Steve McQueen in a few movies as a younger person but now, older with a slightly different outlook to "back then" I realized what a man Steve was as an actor. Every (mature aged) woman loves a dare devil!

Most interesting were the cool motor cycles Steve rode. And I loved how he taught his kids to ride. What a Dad!

I now want to go rent all his old movies - asap.From humble beginnings came a focused, risk taking, talented individual. Well done to the producers and to all the contributors of this great documentary. They captured the man, especially his "Essence of Cool".
