"The Thomas Crown Affair (1968)" Overview
Rating: R
1968
Cast and Crew
Director : Norman JewisonProducer : Norman Jewison
Screenwiter : Alan Trustman
Starring : Steve McQueen,Faye Dunaway
A bit kitschy in plotting, and very kitschy in production (with multiple frames
of action occuring simultaneously), not to mention an overpowering, cheeseball
score, the original Thomas Crown Affair could have been quite a silly sight.
Nevertheless, Jewison and McQueen especially manage to pull this affair into
respectability, even memorability. A clever counterpoint to a film like
Stanley Kubrick's The Killing. Remade (quite successfully) in 1999.
