Music reviews of The Thomas Crown Affair [Original Motion Picture Soundtrack]
Music Review: Contemporary 60s yet Contemplative and Important
Rating: 5 Stars
The THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR soundtrack was another great CD release from Ryko and many thanks go to them for issuing that wonderful compact disc. The THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR soundtrack is available once again on Varese Records. This score composed by Michel Legrand is the epitome of that sophisticated and ultra cool era of the 1960's. It was an era stylized by high fashion and chic aplomb that was quickly coming to an end, giving way to a grittier vision of our base inquisitiveness as general filmgoers. Michel Legrand's approach to film scoring was perfectly matched to this brief and fleeting time of that dying era of the chic and urbane 1960's. The film however, has as much substance as it does style. Closing your eyes, the main title song The Windmills of your Mind sung by Noel Harrison brings many images to mind. It is a beautiful song on its own, yet it reflects the inner struggle of Steve McQueen's character of a man who has everything yet still needs high-stake risks and excitement just to survive and make some meaning out of his life. His pastime full of transgressions will ultimately remain insatiable and will never relief his boredom. Michel Legrand's music perfectly underscores the tale of this man in a rather overt style. The music, which is gaudy and hip actually demonstrates the banality of McQueen's world. A good example of this is the way Legrand scores track 4: The Chess Game that McQueen plays or toys with Faye Dunaway. In retrospect this is a great soundtrack. It is not Herrmann, Bernstein, Newman or many other composers that are too numerous to mention. It is Legrand and makes this modern film a classic as much as any of the contributions from the other filmmakers.
