DesiWareZ.net ForumZ: The Thomas Crown Affair 1999 - DesiWareZ.net ForumZ

Self-made billionaire Thomas Crown (Pierce Brosnan) is bored of being able to buy everything he desires. Being irresistible to women, he also does not feel any challenge in that area. But there are a few things even he can't get, therefore Thomas Crown has a seldom hobby: He steals priceless masterpieces of Art. After the theft of a famous painting from Claude Monet, the only person suspecting Thomas Crown is Catherine Banning (Rene Russo). Her job is to get the picture back, no matter how she accomplishes her mission. Unfortunately, Catherine gets involved too deeply with Thomas to keep a professional distance to the case. Fortunately, Thomas seems to fall for her, too.






an interesting fact about the movie:
The glider used in the film is a Schempp-Hirth Duo Discus, a German high performance two seater. However, it is physically impossible to reach from the rear seat to the front in flight. So this was arranged in studio. The glider was actually flown by Thomas Knauff, a famous glider pilot from USA. In the original film from 1968 there are similar scenes in other glider, a Schweizer 1-23, an American high performance glider from that time.
