Description of this Poster The Thomas Crown Affair
The Thomas Crown Affair is a 1968 American heist film directed and produced by Norman Jewison, starring Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway. It was nominated for two Academy Awards and won Best Original Song for Michel Legrand’s “The Windmills of Your Mind”. A remake was released in 1999.
Millionaire businessman and sportscaster Thomas Crown commits the perfect crime by orchestrating four men to steal $2,660,527.62 from a Boston bank ($20,731,748 in 2021 dollars[3]), along with a fifth man who drives the getaway car with the money and dumps it in a cemetery trash can. None of the men have ever met Crown in person, and they do not know or meet before the robbery. Crown retrieves the money from the trash after secretly following the getaway driver. He deposits the money into an anonymous Swiss bank account in Geneva, making several trips, never depositing it all at once so as not to draw attention to his actions. Vicki Anderson, an independent insurance investigator, is assigned to investigate the robbery; she will receive 10% of the stolen money if she recovers it. When she discovers that Thomas is a potential suspect, she intuitively recognizes him as the mastermind of the robbery and soon after guesses that he has organized the robbers so that none of the men know him or have ever met.
Thomas does not need the money, and in fact organized the robbery as a game. Vicki makes it clear to him that she knows he is the robber and intends to prove it. They begin a game of cat and mouse, the attraction between them evident. Their relationship soon turns into an affair, complicated by Vicki’s vow to find the money and help Detective Eddy Malone bring the culprit to justice.
A reward offer prompts the wife of the robbery driver, Erwin Weaver, to turn him in for $25,000 ($194,809 in 2021 [3]). Vicki discovers that he has been hired by a man he has never seen, but whose voice he has heard (via a microphone). She attempts to put Erwin in the same room as Thomas, but there is no hint of recognition from either. However, while Vicki is clearly warming up to Thomas, using the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) as leverage for his cash flow, he forces her to realize that she is also allowing herself to be locked in by her emotions. When she (apparently) persuades him to negotiate an end, her point is proven when Eddy stubbornly refuses to make a deal. Thomas organizes another robbery, exactly like the first, with different accomplices, and tells Vicki where the “drop-off” will be made, as he needs to be sure she is on his side. The robbery is successful, but there are shots fired, and the viewer feels like people could have been killed, raising the stakes of Vicki’s decision. Vicki and the police stake out the cemetery, where they see one of the robbers making the deposit and wait for Thomas to arrive to arrest him. However, when his Rolls-Royce arrives, she sees that Thomas has sent a messenger in his place, with a telegram asking her to bring the money and join him—or else, “you keep the car.” She tears the telegram into pieces and throws the pieces into the wind, looking up at the sky with tears in her eyes. Crown flies off in a jet.
