Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Rijndri Load of rubbish!!

Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

jimbo-53-186511 A bank executive Thomas Crown (Steve McQueen) pulls off a multi-million dollar heist and craftily shifts his ill-gotten gains to a safe-haven in Geneva. However, insurance investigator Vicki Anderson (Faye Dunaway)and her partner Eddy Malone (Paul Burke) are hot on his heels and are determined to capture Crown, but complications ensue when the criminal and investigator seemingly fall for one another.I can imagine back in the late 60's that a film like The Thomas Crown Affair would sell itself; Steve McQueen (the epitome of cool) and a plot involving a heist job (essentially an Oceans 11 or Italian Job type film). Whilst it may have won audiences over back in the day, viewing it from a modern perspective the whole thing looks incredibly dated and badly put together...OK I'm prepared to accept that the first 10-15 minutes of this film are good and lay out the foundations for a fairly promising heist film, but pretty much as quickly as it starts this film stops dead and slowly ambles towards dullsville.So OK the heist happens and then what?? Nothing, expect scene after scene of dull chatter and next to no plot development. Faye Dunaway and Paul Burke arrive as private investigators and despite an early lively and spirited performance from Dunaway the film never really lifts off the ground. There is just no excitement, intensity or fun in this film - anyone expecting an Italian Job or Oceans 11 type film is going to be mightily disappointed.The film is also filled with lots of elongated and pointless sequences; Dunaway and McQueen spending 10 minutes cruising round the beach in a beach-buggy and them both having a game of chess which seemed to span for about 5 minutes or so. You may think I'm being cynical, but to me that is 15 minutes of screen time that I felt could have been better utilised on character or plot development.Having witnessed such mind-numbing boredom and being in the face of such dull characters I did hope that there may be light at the end of the tunnel, but no the film offers no real surprises and happily coasts its way towards Dullsville.Be warned folks, just because a film stars Steve McQueen and is a heist film it doesn't automatically make it a good film. This is crap and I think that the only reason that it has a reasonable rating is because it is a Steve McQueen film. Yes he is the King Of Cool and yes he is quite a good screen presence which may have gone along way back in the late 60's, but let's not pretend that this rubbish is any good simply because Steve McQueen stars in it. The truth is that it is dull and rather forgettable.

albertoveronese "The Thomas Crown Affair", 1968, a fantastic film by Norman Jewison. Hal Ashby as an editor and associate producer made a meaningful artistic contribution to the film. A lot of people remember this film as well because of Noel Harrison's song "The Windmills Of Your Mind" (music by Michel Legrand, lyrics by Alan & Marilyn Bergman). Two wonderful actors: Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway, and many other remarkable artists gathered together. A time when experimentation and artistic freedom brought us captivating cinematic storytelling. Exciting, cynical, extremely beautiful, delicate and humorous – until film-making felt in the hand of the corporations and their marketing departments.

John austin The King of Cool, Steve McQueen, plays a wealthy businessman and thrill seeker who masterminds a bank heist for no other reason than personal gratification. Faye Dunaway plays an investigator who is able to connect him to the crime and falls in love with him over the course of her investigation.It's a slick, high gloss production with A list stars and a big time director in Norm Jewison. It's an engrossing plot with some intriguing police procedure, well played by McQueen and Dunaway. 1960s films always look great to me because of the filming technique used at the time, although you wouldn't necessarily be wrong if you said this one looks pretty dated. Our preoccupation with high technology was starting to show even in 1968. There are numerous scenes of big punchcard computers, electronically controlled typewriters and the like, all cutting edge stuff back then but pretty antique looking now. McQueen cruises around the beach in an orange dune buggy, an iconic 1960's image if there ever was one. While this movie has a pretty familiar crime drama at its core, there are some defects. The only reason McQueen gets implicated in the crime is Dunaway's wild guess that the mastermind shipped the money to Geneva in numbered bank accounts. The police don't have a smidgen of evidence that this actually happened, but he fits that profile, making numerous trips there shortly after the robbery. However, several others fit the profile as well, and she only focuses on McQueen because she finds him personally attractive, and her female instinct tells her that he's the one. As the movie goes on, they really don't get any hard evidence connecting McQueen to the crime. McQueen plays it close to the vest and implicates himself only by his silence and evasiveness on the subject- he never says he did or didn't do it. Only near the end does he tire of the cat and mouse game and tell Dunaway to call in and make a deal with the cops. That's the closest thing to an admission we get. The motivation behind the crime is a little uncertain and a little thin. Thomas Crown is a rich businessman who wouldn't seem to have any incentive to pull off this particular crime. He's a thrill seeker-piloting gliders, playing polo, etc., so we're invited to make the inference that this is just another way for him to get off. There's also a subtle suggestion that after his divorce life is empty, and maybe he doesn't care if he risks everything with this. They do set up Thomas Crown as a rich man who's got some disdain for other rich men, but there's no indication that he's punishing the bank for something, and he's got no problem risking his henchmen or the innocent public to pull off his bank robbery thrill. One man does get shot in the robbery, so although you like his character, you could easily argue that Thomas Crown is not a very sympathetic good guy and maybe actually a bad guy. Good guy or bad, McQueen gets the last laugh as another robbery takes place while he leaves Dunaway high and dry and escapes to rich man's paradise on a private plane.

Tweekums When a mystery man assembles a five man team to commit a bank robbery it is going to be difficult to catch him as none of them have seen his face and before the robbery none of them have seen each other. The Mystery man is millionaire Thomas Crown and he didn't mastermind a two million dollar robbery because he needed the cash he did it to see if he could. After the robbers get away there is little to suggest who they were; they were all dressed alike and it is the clothes that the witnesses remember. The police aren't happy to fail but the insurers are even less happy to have to pay out. They call in investigator Vicki Anderson who soon suspects Crown who is one of the five people to know the bank well enough and to have made several trips to Switzerland since the robbery. Of course she has no proof so sets about getting close to him; she tells him that she will get him but he doesn't seem too worried, if anything it just makes life more interesting for him. Eventually it looks as if she has got him but he just says that if he did it once he can do it again… This stylish caper movie is thoroughly amoral; the protagonist is a bank robber who just does it for the thrills, like so many other things he does and the person trying to stop him is quite happy to break the law to catch him… yet it is a lot of fun and the viewer is likely to find himself hoping he will get away with it. Steve McQueen, the epitome of cool, and Faye Dunaway do fine jobs in the lead roles and have a good chemistry; they even manage to make a game of chess erotic! As well as having a good story the film looks great; featuring multiply split scenes and fast cuts that work rather than confusing the viewer.
