THE THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR
April 21, 2018  | By David Bianculli

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

 

Director Norman Jewison mounted this 1968 heist drama with style to spare, playing with the split-screen images, rapid editing and propulsive rock music so popular at that point in the Sixties. Steve McQueen, as a bank executive who plans a clever way to rob his own bank, is stylish, too, and is cool personified – but nothing in this film is as stylish as Faye Dunaway, playing the insurance investigator who’s called in after the robbery.
