The Perfect Crime
The Thomas Crown affair begs the question. What do the rich think of when they are bored? Norman Jewison decided to answer that question with a subtle, but over the top version of cops and robbers. Thomas Crown (suprisingly, but adroitly played by Steve McQueen) is a bored, millionaire who asks, “Who do I want to be tomorrow?” To that end, he decides on ‘kicks.’ In what seems like an absentminded challenge to himself, Crown designs and implements a down to the minute bank robbery. The plan is fantastic. He selects and hires five total strangers at random, instructs them on their part of the Bank robbery, then sets them in motion. What follows is perhaps the finest cat and mouse crime game between two intelligent and sophisticated players. Faye Dunaway plays Vicki Anderson, a top notch insurance investigator who for ten percent of recovered loot promises the capture of her agile quarry. Standing by to arrest the elusive Crown is Paul Burke, who plays Lt. Edward ‘Eddy’ Malone. Jack Weston portrays Erwin Weaver the get-a-way driver who could jeopardize Crowns Perfect crime. With the famous, “Windmills of your Mind” theme song, the viewer is hauntingly allowed into the mind of a sympathetic man and one cannot help but root for the thief. This film was McQueen’s favorite. *****
Stealing With Style
Thomas Crown is a mysterious gazillionaire who is frankly bored with his life. What to do when you’re a thirty something and have all the resources available. For a lark, plan the perfect crime.So in The Thomas Crown Affair, Steve McQueen does just that. He recruits four people at random for the crime, none of whom know each other and pull off a really neat bank robbery.
It seems like Paul Burke and the Boston PD aren’t getting the job done so the bank brings in Faye Dunaway as an insurance investigator. She does this for a 10% finders fee, not for a policeman’s salary. She also doesn’t have to follow the rules the way the cops do.
Dunaway is smart and she does figure out it’s McQueen who’s the mastermind. She baits him in some of the same way that Inspector Slimane baits Pepe LeMoko. Of course she really gets up close and personal in a way that Slimane couldn’t. All this really does get to Paul Burke, whose performance is unfortunately overlooked in talking about The Thomas Crown Affair.
It’s a battle of hubris between McQueen and Dunaway and the film does keep you in some suspense as to who will win out.
The Thomas Crown Affair garnered won Academy Award for Michel LeGrand’s song, The Windmills of Your Mind. It’s a stylishly done caper film and I guarantee you won’t be able to anticipate the outcome.
