Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Thomas Crown Affair is a 1968 American heist movie directed by Norman Jewison, starring Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway.Millionaire Thomas Crown (McQueen) has just pulled off the perfect crime, taking more than $2.6 million from a bank in Boston and socking it away in a Swiss bank account. Vicki Anderson (Dunaway) is an independent insurance investigator contracted to investigate the heist, who will get a portion of the stolen money if she manages to recover it. Crown obviously doesn't need the money, but is constantly in search of diversions, welcoming Vicki's interest in him as a way to alleviate his boredom, even though she informs him from the start that she knows he's the one who pulled the job, and intends to prove it. Their relationship develops into a full-blown affair, complicated by Vicki's determination to recover the stolen money.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Also notable is the film's opening theme, "The Windmills of Your Mind," written by Michel Legrand and performed by Noel Harrison. It has since become a pop standard and has been covered by many other artists, including Sting (for the film's remake), Johnny Mathis, Dusty Springfield, and even Jerry Nelson in The Muppet Show!It was remade in 1999.

Bat Deduction: The plot relies on Vicki making several, from guessing Switzerland is where the money went, to the manner both of the heist team's assembly and payment, all the way to intuiting Thomas Crown's involvement based primarily on his looks and the fact that he plays polo.

Anti-Hero: Vicki is promiscuous. She does not hesitate to steal a car and then to kidnap a child to make an accomplice talk it out.

Anti-Villain: Thomas Crown is the leader of a gang of thieves, but his crimes are almost bloodless and he is very charming. He even charms the insurance investigator who is after him.
