Trivia:
The one-minute kissing sequence between the two leads took eight hours to film over a number of days. moreGoofs:
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. moreSoundtrack:

The original "Thomas Crown Affair" directed by Norman Jewison is one of the coolest movies ever made and great fun for all of its 100 minutes - a clever bank-heist caper combined with the sensual romance where both participants (the brilliant bank robber and his match, the sultry and shrewd insurance investigator) are sophisticated, quick-witted and oh so cool. The split-screen technique really works well in this movie and I should mention the song "The Windmills of Your Mind" by Michel Legrand that very deservingly received an Oscar - and it does not happen often in the best song categories.
The chess game between "King Of Cool" Steve McQueen and 27 year old Faye Dunaway in the most provocative dress possible is one of the sexiest and most exiting without actual sex involved (my favorite kind of scenes - let my imagination work, let everything happen in my mind) scenes ever filmed. IMO, the 60s was one of the best dressed decades ever with the first wave of mini (and I mean it) skirts and elegant suits and dresses.
From Faye Dunaway's interview to "USA Today" about working with McQueen, "We had the most magical spark. Our hearts and souls combined. There was no romance off screen but on screen it was like a smack."
