Were no movies made in Chicago while Richard J. Daley was mayor?

Interesting to hear how Hizzonor's standards affected the movie industry's use of Chicago... One puzzlement - Bullitt, a film made there? Didn't realise Chicago was hilly enough to stand in for San Francisco... Or did they shuttle the production halfway across the country just to shoot the chase scene on the real streets?
