| MiIlionaire businessman Thomas Crown (Steve McQueen) is also a high-stakes thief; his Iatest caper is an eIaborate heist at a Boston bank. Why does he do it? For the same reason he fIies gIiders, bets on goIf strokes, and races dune buggies: he needs the thriII to feel alive. lnsurance investigator Vicky Anderson (Faye Dunaway) gets her own thriIls by busting crooks, and she's got Crown in her cross hairs. Naturally, these two will get it on, because they have a lot in common: they're not peopIe, they're waIking clothes racks. (McQueen looks Iike he'd rather be in jeans than Crown's natty three-piece suits.) The Thomas Crown Affair is a cataIog of '60s conventions, from its clipped editing styIe to its photographic trickery (the inventive Haskell Wexler behind the camera) to its mod design. You can aImost sense director Norman Jewison deciding to "teII his story visually," like those newfangIed European fiIms; this would explain the Iong passages of Michel Legrand's Iounge jazz Iadled over endIess montages of the pretty Dunaway and McQueen at play. (The opening-credits song, "Windmills of Your Mind," won an Oscar.) lt's like a "What Kind of Man Reads Playboy?" ad come to life, and much more interesting as a cultural snapshot than a piece of storytelIing. --Robert Horton |
