It ain’t exactly Bullitt but 1955’s Family Affair, an industrial film from AT&T, does feature Steve McQueen’s first film acting role. In it he plays Freddie, a sailor on leave desperately trying to contact his girlfriend by telephone. McQueen is more Gomer Pyle than Thomas Crown in his movie debut.
 
Family Affair was intended to get ATT&T employees jazzed about the idea of a future where homes had multiple phones.
