Craig and McQueen Part II
Craig:
Here is a great
analysis
of the movie
Casino Royale
, in five parts, from
The Man From Porlock
site:
McQueen:
Check out
this piece

about the role of fashion in
The Thomas Crown Affair
. I loved Faye Dunaway's clothes in this film, but she sure didn't look like an insurance inspector to me.
And even though through most of the film Mr. McQueen is the most debonair and well dressed bank thief I have seen, there is one glaring costume mistake. If you've seen the movie, either you know what I'm talking about or you have blocked it from your memory.
Lucky you.
I am talking about the bright yellow shortie robe that Mr. Crown wears in one scene. Ugggh, so scary it took me right out of the movie at that point. What were they thinking? That Mr. McQueen was so macho that he could get away with it? Um, NO. Not in
that
robe.
Oh, and that theme song...
The Windmills of My Mind
. WOW. Still one of my favorites, SO trippy yet truly beautiful. If I could only memorize that baby!
The music:
Bonus!
An Alison Moyet version
The lyrics:
If you want to try memorizing them, here they are,
here
and
