The Thomas Crown Affair
Norman Jewison / US, 1968 / 100 min.
Rich playboy Thomas Crown (Steve McQueen) masterminds a bank robbery because he's bored; his adversary Vicky (Faye Dunaway) falls hook, line and sinker for the charms of the trendy Crown in shades. In Memoriam Norman Jewison.
Ultra cool performance of Dunaway: a great deal of action and brazen behaviour with no respect for law and order. DOP Haskell Wexler made abundant use of split-screen images, slow-motion takes and sunlight refracted in the lens – popular style tools in the sixties – while Dunaway and McQueen, both clad in stylish outfits, just can't seem to get enough of each other.
