Storyline

Four men pull off a daring daytime robbery at a bank, dump the money in a trash can and go their separate ways. Thomas Crown, a successful, wealthy businessman pulls up in his Rolls and collects it. Vickie Anderson, an independent insurance investigator is called in to recover the huge haul. She begins to examine the people who knew enough about the bank to have pulled the robbery and discovers Crown. She begins a tight watch on his every move and begins seeing him socially. How does the planner of the perfect crime react to pressure? Written by John Vogel <jlvogel@comcast.net>

Trivia

Director Norman Jewison originally wanted to cast Eva Marie Saint in the film, but the studio rejected the idea on the basis of Saint being too old (at 44) to play the female lead. They ultimately decided to cast the younger and more popular Faye Dunaway instead. See more »

Goofs

Factual errors: The haul from the first bank robbery totals $2,660,527.62, as explained by the police. It is broken down in to 16,240 $20 bills, 19,871 $10 bills, 34,465 $5 bills, and 129,000 $1 bills. Added up, that only totals $824,835.00, as later detailed by a secretary. That makes the whole greater than the sum of its parts. See more »
