The Thomas Crown Affair

The story of the wealthy and bored Thomas Crown, who devises heists with elegance and precision until he encounters a worthy opponent in the form of the highly intelligent insurance investigator Vicki Anderson. A cat-and-mouse game in the guise of a high-class thriller. The film was made at a time when Hollywood was beginning to portray its heroes and heroines in a more ambivalent light. Its style and rhythm remain unrivalled.
