Suffering from MadMen withdrawal I searched for a movie about that era and The Thomas Crown Affair filled my requirements. Thomas Crown, a man with emmence wealth, the Brahman of his profession,is suffering in my opinion a existential crisis. " What should I be Tomorrow ?" lame as it may sound is a common lament of those with More money than they know what to do with. I enjoyed Faye Dunaway in her role of Vicki, an equal match or as in the words of Norman Jewison the director "love between two Shits" I thought it was ballsey when she said to him. " I know you did it." Yet she didn't expect him to fold up and come quietly.While parts of the movie seem dated, which leads in to similarities in how Madmen ended with references to emerging new age psychology. The plot of who was playing whom with mind games of romance to keep the other off guard kept me involved till the end it spite of its 60's contrivences. I look forward watching the remake and comparing the two.
