Steve McQueen stars in the original The Thomas Crown Affair (1968, R) as a millionaire criminal mastermind who plots
elaborate heists for the thrill and meets a worthy opponent in the elegant and relentless insurance investigator Faye Dunaway.
He doesn't so much have supporting players in the film as he does an extended family of cherished guests who he invites to stay
for a while, relax and soak up the ambience: French it girl Léa Seydoux has a part as a maid which may as well be non-speaking; Owen Wilson plays one of M Gustave's concierge brethren and gets a line (if not a laugh); even Tilda Swinton makes a flying visit to Wesworld, caked in gristly prosthetics as an ageing dowager who drops dead after her first and only scene, her passing acting as deus ex machina
for an
elaborate art
heist involving the whereabouts of the apocryphal, priceless chef d'oeuvre, «Boy With Apple».
