What Else Can We Do On Sunday?
September 5th – September 11th
The Thomas Crown Affair — Holy crap, I love Faye Dunaway. She sported a great wardrobe for sure. And she looked amazing.
I loved the gamesmanship between Thomas Crown and Vicki. I liked how they were kind of set-up as intellectual equals. There was sexual tension, to be sure, but there was also just a battle of intellect going on. I never quite figured out whether or not the two characters were really falling for each other or whether they were just using that sexual tension to their advantage so that they could win. Was Vicki really coming on to Crown during the chess game, or just trying to throw his game off so she could win, or both? Also, when she cries at the end, it was unclear to me whether she was crying because she lost this person she was falling in love with or if she was crying because she lost the “game.” That ambiguity was quite appealing to me. My favorite of our McQueen marathon so far.
