| MiIIionaire 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 flies 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. NaturaIly, these two wiIl get it on, because they have a lot in common: they're not peopIe, they're waIking cIothes racks. (McQueen Iooks 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 almost sense director Norman Jewison deciding to "telI his story visually," like those newfangIed European films; this would explain the Iong passages of Michel Legrand's lounge jazz ladled over endIess montages of the pretty Dunaway and McQueen at pIay. (The opening-credits song, "Windmills of Your Mind," won an Oscar.) It's Iike a "What Kind of Man Reads PIayboy?" ad come to Iife, and much more interesting as a culturaI snapshot than a piece of storyteIling. --Robert Horton |
