The Thomas Crown Affair (1968 Norman Jewison)

Steve McQueen (was he the coolest man in films?), Faye Dunaway, Paul Burke, Jack Weston (the driver), Astrid Heeren (one of only three films), Yaphet Kotto.


Astrid Heeren



Interesting credits: Editor and assistant producer Hal Ashby.
Photography "I'll never work with him again" Haskell Wexler
Second assistant director Walter Hill
Music Michel Legrand (lyrics Alan and Marilyn Bergman)
Titles Pablo Ferro
Singer Noel (son of Rex) Harrison.

One suspects the entire crew of smoking pot. The split screen is used most creatively.

Loved the first act's robbery - as it starts we have no idea what's going on.
