Did You Know?

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:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When insurance investigator Vicki Anderson hears that Thomas Crown earns money in arbitrage, she is ignorant of the term and asks its meaning. This seems scarcely credible, given her line of work and its level of sophistication.See more »

The Perfect Crime, 10 July 2006
Author: thinker1691 from USA

The Thomas Crown affair begs the question. What do the rich think of when they are bored? Norman Jewison decided to answer that question with a subtle, but over the top version of cops and robbers. Thomas Crown (suprisingly, but adroitly played by Steve McQueen) is a bored, millionaire who asks, "Who do I want to be tomorrow?" To that end, he decides on 'kicks.' In what seems like an absentminded challenge to himself, Crown designs and implements a down to the minute bank robbery. The plan is fantastic. He selects and hires five total strangers at random, instructs them on their part of the Bank robbery, then sets them in motion. What follows is perhaps the finest cat and mouse crime game between two intelligent and sophisticated players. Faye Dunaway plays Vicki Anderson, a top notch insurance investigator who for ten percent of recovered loot promises the capture of her agile quarry. Standing by to arrest the elusive Crown is Paul Burke, who plays Lt. Edward 'Eddy' Malone. Jack Weston portrays Erwin Weaver the get-a-way driver who could jeopardize Crowns Perfect crime. With the famous, "Windmills of your Mind" theme song, the viewer is hauntingly allowed into the mind of a sympathetic man and one cannot help but root for the thief. This film was McQueen's favorite. *****
