The Thomas Crown Affair (1968O

The Thomas Crown Affair is arguably the most boring thriller I've ever seen. Kind of a caper movie, rich guy bank robber Thomas Crown (Steve McQueen) romances insurance investigator Vicki Anderson (Fay Dunaway) sent to get him, testing both of their loyalties. A very stylish film featuring the Oscar winning song "The Windmills of Your Mind" and directed by the very capable Norman Jewison. However I found it very boring, it could not keep my full attention which is honestly kind of rare. Later remade in the late 90's staring Pierce Brosnan and Rene Russo. Well made but I could hardly sit through it so I can't recommend it. *1/2
