Viewing Notes
Part of my ongoing quest to watch every Steve McQueen movie, The Thomas Crown Affair is a great comedy/drama/crime movie.
Reportly McQueen’s favorite of the movies he made, TCA is a cynical take on fortune and love. I’d seen the remake a few times, and really enjoyed it as well, but it was nice to see the original had a much more cynical outlook (and outcome).
Faye Dunaway is gorgeous and brilliant here. I really enjoyed her in this movie. The cat and mouse exchanges between McQueen and Dunaway are brilliant. It’s so fun to watch two great actors play off each other so well. In particular, the chess scene is one of my favorites.
