Trivia

After watching a five hour rough cut of the film, composer Michel Legrand took a six week vacation during which he wrote 90 minutes of music. The film was then reedited to the music, instead of the other way around. If this experiment had failed, Legrand would have written a second score in the traditional way free of charge.

The sailplane (N9860E) that Steve McQueen flies early in the movie is a Schweizer SGS 1-23H-15. It was used in New York for many years, but eventually crashed and was destroyed in Georgia (US) in June 2013.

Goofs

When insurance investigator Vicki Anderson hears that Thomas Crown earns money in arbitrage, she is ignorant of the term and asks its meaning. This seems scarcely credible, given her line of work and its level of sophistication.

During the robbery several revolvers have silencers. A Silencer will not work on a revolver.

In the elevator during the first robbery, Carl puts on his left glove three times. Whenever the camera angle switches back to him from the hostages, he's putting that same glove on his hand.

Faq

How much does Vicki get for catching Thomas?

10% of everything recovered. If she recovered the entire amount, $2,660,527.62, she would receive $266,052.76. However, Thomas had to pay off his accomplices, so Vicki's take would probably be less than that.

How did Vicki come to suspect Thomas Crown?

Vicki and Detective Eddie Malone (Paul Burke) came upon Crown's name by cross checking airline records to see who had traveled to Switzerland multiple times since the robbery. Thomas was one of eight suspects, and Vicki's instincts told her that he was the one.

What kind of sailplane was Crown flying at the beginning of the movie?

The sailplane (N9860E) that Crown is flying is a Schweizer SGS 1-23H-15.
