this song/recording is just so distinctive and special.. it has that like french style sound to it which gets me nostalgic for some reason.. probably cause my folks played lots of french music when i was young. need to find more songs that evoke a similar feeling like this..
Noel Harrison was the best singer of this song for me. A lot of other singers slow it down and the song drags and starts to fatally bleed.This soundtrack is even faster than the old released 45rpm single which I have, but the single is a superior performance. I've heard him singing it in three recordings and my only quibble is that he never gets that awkward interval on the word 'drumming' onto a distinctly right pitch. It's a unique song which I've always thought somehow Mozartian.
This version is brilliant! Beautiful and timeless. The best version by far. It isn’t rushed and is sung to match the movies character. This has the timing and appreciation that produces the correct effect Personally I enjoy the sound and visual effect of the clip when the glider goes down behind the trees and then comes past for a fantastic landing and Astrid Heeren (Gwen) drives the car to meet him. This song will be remembered long after other (trash) is gone for its feel and quality.
French composer Michel Legrand's best film song from the film THE THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR that truly inspired a young African American artist to beleive in the power of art & french ksses to entertain!
for me there will only be one Thomas Crown. I started watching the remake once but gave up. McQueen was sexy and every woman in the country wanted to play chess with him.
@mwmace . You Bet, Lyrics are great, by Alan and Marilyn Bergman, but music by the almost God, Michel Legrand. This is a classic, timeless and extraordinary song, but this version for sure, the original, is one of the best ever. The other great one, modern version, is by Sting.
I love Steve Mcqueen and I love this song, the two together...WOW, cant fully describe how i feel but its good very good, happy, reflective and inspiring!!
Mc Queen was king of cool no doubt. What greate actors and actress's U.S had back then. From McQueen to Vin Dizel and Holly berry in three decades. what happend to U.S...
@mickinbrussels Actually, he also did a cover version of Procol Harum's "A Whiter Shade Of Pale"; the original's still the best, but he does a decent job of it, I guess.
any1 notice the first two verses... from the start until the second windmills of your mind... are 2 sonnets, then the 3rd verse is similar but it continues with the suddenly you realise........colour of her hair...a sudden realisation......a break of a revolving trance(circle within a circle/2 sonnets ) to form a new beginning.........just an observation
AMAZING CLIP THAT WON BEST SONG TITLE (1968 Acadamy Awards)
TRIVIA: So far this 1968 clip has had an average of 300 views per day! That is huge for such an old clip! There were over 500 views just since yesterday!
WOMAN IN CAR SEARCH:
The woman in the car is probably either Astrid Heeren ("Gwen") or Carol Corbett ("Miss Sullivan ") and could only probably best be determined by watching the full length movie. Basic web searches and checking IMDB.com didnt produce any photos. (Help! )

@maninthestreet01 Not certain. I want to say its a Tanned-Claudia Cardindale (orig. Pink Panther). Cardindale was selected by Italian Producers for her renditions of Italian Women, which the character in this film also plays his "Italian Girlfriend." Cardindale was McQueens date and helped Present with him at the 1965 Acadamy Awards. Ive done a fair amount of searching on this and this is my best guess. IMDB didnt credit Cardindale or anyone else for that matter on this appearance.

@papillon0970: I am reasonably certain she is Italian. I researched this about 9 months ago and somewhere I read Pre-TCA she was in high demand in numerous Italian films because she resembled a typical Italian woman. Its too bad she didn't go on to do much more in American Film. According to IMDB she did two more American Films but not even a supporting role! Then nothing. Not a magazine cover or anything. Any Fluent-Italians out there should be able to find more info on at Italian Sites.
@multiplexusa : just did a google search: there's an issue of "Look" magazine from april 1969 with an article about her. It does say she's a "German model turned actress".....
It never fails...Steve Mc Queen in The Thomas Crown Affair and it's theme song sends goose bumps up and down my arm. I love, love, love him, and everyone envolved with this film. A classic for sure.
nobody come close to steve.. he was one of the greatest, decent and finest man ever. he was a great star and an great person. and i miss him.... still......
on our school performance. at the start when we're getting ready. this is playing. i thought it was of charli & the chocolate factory. how rong i was = )
McQueen was genuine hot property and next appeared with Faye Dunaway in the provocative crime drama The Thomas Crown Affair (1968), next in what many consider his signature role, that of a maverick, taciturn detective in the mega-hit Bullitt (1968), renowned for its famous chase sequence through San Francisco between McQueen's Ford Mustang and the killer's black Dodge Charger.
The song is not about boredom - In fact the very opposite. The words relate to the free associative meaning of day dreaming. Consciousness is circular not linear and so people usually fly between parallel lines of thought exploring hidden connection. The portal of creativity is intermittent eventually closes and hence the solemn landing of the melody. The song feels like a meditation on meditation.

@lowaces yeah I agree and while I'm no expert isn't that deliberate and doesn't it make it that more interesting? You have to agree it is very mellow?
@stixmix2375 I don't know, as they would says it was the 60's, the song has lots of cover versions, the one by mancini is pretty good, but i'm sure i could sing it with better rythm, i could even make up my own jibbersih words because it has the right flow.
What are you lot on? Man is supposed to live in the sky, indeed. Maybe if he's smoked half an ounce of crack, then maybe. Bloody good film, but living in the sky????? walk away from the pipe, my friends.
Some people say, Thomas Crown Affair is good, but not the best movie ever shot, but this scene is just brilliant, excellent and awesome. Steve McQueen as Thomas Crown reminds us, that man is not meant to live on ground - the real Man belongs to sky, which doesn't know any borders and limits. Due to this, the scene's worth billion Oscars.
@ozorchuck seriously?? he could do it all?? i am a software developer with a pilots licence..am i a modern day errol flynn? can i do it all?? no...get a grip
@froger76 Yep; he darn well could! He had a natural aptitude for most sports. He was a speed freak. He could ride anything and drive anything and play anything. And if he couldn't, he'd learn. He taught himself to play polo for this film and practised until his hands bled. He played fast...sad he died at 50.
Great song, and nice lyrics. For some reason, my brain always tells me that he's going to crash at the end of the video - even though I know he won't. :D

@JuanMacready an all time classic movie and all time classic song and songtrack by michel legrand.....which people wil still be listening to it another 40 years!!!!
And what a perfomance! Thomas Crown is flying a plane here, something literally uplifted and he just can't get rid of his all life fundamental dissatisfaction, unhappyness and boredom. Only the 70s could relate glamour and lifestyle to this feeling, and it's a fundamental truth, too.
BRAVO... BRAVO... BRAVO....Praises for the McQueen performance. The all time best actor. IF you have not seen The Get Away with him and Allie McGraw.... It's AWESOME !!! They Really knew how to make movies back then.
@albis151 I'm afraid I don't read or speak Spanish, BUT IF I follow your question correctly, YES I have seen the movie Papillon....years ago, And Yes he was great there too. Thanks
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
this version of the song sounds ridiculous, almost comedic in fact, but maybe that's because i heard sting's first, and this is way before my era. i just like the smooth jazzy feel of the remake much better.
Good. Now go take a look at the remake glidder scene. Notice Steve alone is all thats needed...no speaking just him - total cool. Pierce you couldnt get him to shut up. And, where is the chess scene in the new one??? You know they couldnt tackle that...The new soundtrack is awesome but I like this old classic...the new one is counting to much on speed. Thank you for your comment...I like to know what people think.
@jemimakahn UHHH I must admit that I had not thought of it that way before, And Of Course the Great McQueen ALWAYS gave his Best in his performances. BUT In all Fairness, I FEEL that Brosnan gave a good performance for THE UPDATED VERSION. Which would of course can NEVER Beat the Original. JUST my HUMBLE Opinion.
Who sings this version?

Bisexual Steve McQueen worked as a rent boy for two years (1950 to 1952). I'm glad he died of cancer at only 50.

Is the dutch version of this song wich is a bit slower.

There was some controversy if the rough McQueen could play this character.
I'm sure another sucessful contemporary of his was considered for this role, Paul Newman.

Music was composed by Michelle Legrand, a great France's musician. That one which wrote the music to "Cherbourg's Umbrellas"

And what a perfomance! Thomas Crown is flying a plane here, something literally uplifted and he just can't get rid of his all life fundamental dissatisfaction, unhappyness and boredom. Only the 70s could relate glamour and lifestyle to this feeling, and it's a fundamental truth, too.

Nobody was cooler than Steve McQueen.
He died before I was even born, but I think nobody alive today can match him in coolness!

Sting's version was very nice. I love originals,but he made it his own. With all due respect.

I agree that this original version is much better and true to Legrand's style and spirit than the Sting's remake.

Both movies are great ...but, Steve was a mans man and always will be.

Stings cover is a try hard version, trying to be cool. This is the real thing. Don't try and remake a classic it just doesn't work.

this version of the song sounds ridiculous, almost comedic in fact, but maybe that's because i heard sting's first, and this is way before my era. i just like the smooth jazzy feel of the remake much better.
tetankemint 2 years ago
Good. Now go take a look at the remake glidder scene. Notice Steve alone is all thats needed...no speaking just him - total cool. Pierce you couldnt get him to shut up. And, where is the chess scene in the new one??? You know they couldnt tackle that...The new soundtrack is awesome but I like this old classic...the new one is counting to much on speed. Thank you for your comment...I like to know what people think.
19Spencer80 2 years ago
counting too much on 'speed'? heh, sting's cover is anything but fast.

No No I was talking more about the movie...stings cover is great.
19Spencer80 2 years ago
@19Spencer80, you hit the nail on the nub. Brosnan couldn't shut up. But then Herr McQueen was one of the masters of physical non-verbal acting.
jemimakahn 1 year ago 2
@jemimakahn UHHH I must admit that I had not thought of it that way before, And Of Course the Great McQueen ALWAYS gave his Best in his performances. BUT In all Fairness, I FEEL that Brosnan gave a good performance for THE UPDATED VERSION. Which would of course can NEVER Beat the Original. JUST my HUMBLE Opinion.
