Hooked on a Great Movie
Just when I was getting ready to take a nap to try and get rid of this pesky headache, hubby tells me that a great movie is on. He thinks I should watch the 1968 movie, The Thomas Crown Affair. I am watching and after only a few minutes, I am hooked. It is fun to watch this movie because they are using phones with rotary dials and wearing styles of the sixties. Fun!
He was young, handsome, a millionaire – and he’d just pulled off the perfect crime! She was young, beautiful, a super sleuth – sent to investigate it! That’s what IMDB has to say.
This movie stars Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway. Four men pull off a daring daytime robbery at a bank, dump the money in a trash can and go their separate ways. Thomas Crown, a successful, wealthy businessman pulls up in his Rolls and collects it. Vickie Anderson, an independent insurance investigator is called in to recover the huge haul. She begins to examine the people who knew enough about the bank to have pulled the robbery and discovers Crown. She begins a tight watch on his every move and begins seeing him socially. How does the planner of the perfect crime react to pressure?
Thanks IMDB and hubby! No nap for me.

Yep…great movie. Something like a “grown-up” James Bond movie.
You might also like The Italian Job. A little more campy and stylized, but similar niche.
One of my favorite movies is the updated version with Renee Russo and Pierce Brosnan! I should watch the original, and you should watch the new one!
