- My favourite scene! Beats the Chess scene hands down. Needless to say, I am still mesmerized by the whole film after all these years. Strongly recommended. P.S. Don't bother with the pathetic remake that they shoveled on us a few years ago. Go for the original ...
Sublime. Emotions captured vividly! Miss Vicki's wistful glance skyward whilst ceding the torn telegraph to her inevitable heartbreak. Her face a pallet of emotional anguish. Meanwhile, Tomy's face recasts from remorse to a simper; a man more in love with his liberty than with his paramour. Their romance ultimately doomed as each succumbs to their true nature. My dad loved this movie! An although it's a pleasure to watch and absorb on it's own merits, it's the memory of watching together with him that kindles warm memories. Here's to you Dad! We miss you!
The musical score. The MC Queen smile. Fay's stunning beauty. The intimacy. The sixties smartly dressed people. The plot make this a classic. Steve was the King of Cool.
He added the last caper only to test her loyalty. Their love failed. They could not leave their lifestyle or beliefs. Faye's array of emotions. The heartbreak. Steve knew she would not join him. The Score, Editing, Costume Design and Cinematography made this film a Classic. Best Song WOYM sealed the deal.
The original ended the way it should have with Steve McQueen in the title role. That Thomas Crown, like McQueen was a loner. Pierce Brosnan's Tnomas Crown, you could tell, wanted an equal with love and romance. That is how Pierce comes across.
Steve McQueen, Faye Dunaway, REAL MOVIE STARS. Not these Nobody's that are celebrated today. Who? No Me Neither.!!
Earlier in the film, we see him sat in his car on the beach. He suspected that Faye Dunaway would betray him to the Police so he jumped the gun and fled the country.
She was outclassed by the master.
They should never have refilmed this.
Faye was impossibly beautiful
One of the most cinematic endings of all time! I used to spin this soundtrack non-stop. Great jazz score by Michel Legrand. The jet and that extraordinary piano riff is a perfect marriage of cinema and music.
One of the greatest scenes in the history of American movies: the facial expressions, the music.
This never gets old....masterpiece
This was one of my mom's favorite movies. She passed away on October 10, 2015. she loved the way that Faye Dunaway looked in the chess scene & the first scene that she is in at the airport. The music was & still is awesome. she would watch it every time that is came on Turner Classic Movies. played the entire soundtrack for three hours after I found out that she had died. she was 73... watching this movie without her is never going to be the same
One of the greatest movie endings ever! McQueen is the king of cool.
I love this scene! They don't make movies like this anymore.
The Chess Scene has to be one of the greatest teases in cinema history
A great flick, and definitely my favorite of Steve McQueen’s.
When cinema was still cinema! Plot, tempo, cinematography, music and acting all superlative. Movies today seem not to measure up!
I saw this movie as a teenager when it was new, and it continued to grow on me in the following years - partly because the ultra-'60s ambience has become more fascinating as that time has receded further in the past. I have always liked the film a lot, although the plot really doesn't make sense if you pay attention to it. Regardless, this ending is emotionally powerful and to me works extremely well because you really can't be sure what's going to happen. When Faye is confronted by what's been done to her, the shock is conveyed so well by her collapse against the open car door, the loud jet streaking across the sky and the quick-cut zoom to her drained face. Her tearing up the telegram and tossing it to the wind is perhaps overly dramatic, but again, I think it works masterfully. She came into this situation supremely self-assured, striding through Logan Airport in Boston and dressed throughout in the most up-to-date outfits, and at the end that almost arrogant attitude has been crushed by the betrayal.
I love that final scene, when he flies away and invite her to join him..!!!
