Short description
Young businessman Thomas Crown is bored and decides to plan a robbery and assigns a professional agent with the right information to the job. However, Crown is soon betrayed yet cannot blow his cover because he’s in love.
What's left behind the scenes
- According to director Norman Jewison, the bank robbery was filmed at a National Shawmut Bank branch, and only the bank's management and security guards knew that a feature film was being shot. Customers were unaware, as the filming was done with a hidden camera. Of course, customers and passersby outside on the sidewalk suspected something was happening, but none of them intervened.
- The role of Thomas Crown was initially offered to actor Sean Connery, who later called refusing the role one of his greatest mistakes.
- The one-minute scene of the two main characters kissing was filmed over several days, totaling 8 hours.
- Steve McQueen (1930-1980) performed all the stunts himself, including playing polo and racing a buggy at high speed along the Massachusetts coastline.
- The idea for the film came to screenwriter Alan Trustman while working at a bank, and in his free time, he amused himself by thinking about how the bank could be robbed.
- The filmmakers turned to the FBI for assistance with filming and permission to shoot at FBI headquarters in Boston, but were denied. The FBI decided that the film's script portrayed the agency in a foolish light and depicted it as incompetent.
