Review of The Thomas Crown Affair (1968) by Michael G — 22 Jun 2008
The (original) Thomas Crown Affair is more of a time capsule than an actual movie. It stammers around with a dull story, gimmicky split screen shots (which really annoyed the hell out of me after a while) and Faye Dunaway's wardrobe.
This one had a lot of potential (that the 1999 remake ultimately tapped into) but the lack of chemistry between Steve McQueen and Dunaway kind of foreshadows the abysmal ending. And that "sexy chess game" sequence was pretty damn ridiculous.
And normally a young Faye Dunaway really does it for me but not even she could truly save this one.
