The Thomas Crown Affair

[roadrunnersk]

Sometime in the 1960's-70's, there was a film, I am not sure as to what it was called, but the name ran along the lines of "The Adventure(? it could be "story") of Richard(?could be robert) (And there is a last name, not too sure of it, but it sound like archwood or ackroyd, or something)"

To be more specific to the viewer, the film was about how a millionaire organized a bank robbery just for the hell of it, as in to commit the perfect crime.

There was a certain song, a classical song, that ended with the line:

"Like a windmill in my mind"

I know, its kinda vague, but im in pursuit of this song for a dear friend. Seriously, any help would be appreciated!

Could it be the the 1968 version of "The Thomas Crown Affair"? I'm just guessing....because the plot revolves around a millionare who commits the perfect crime. Plus there is a song called "Windmills of Your Mind" on the soundtrack.

Here's a link to imdb for movie info for "The Thomas Crown Affair".

And here's a link to the soundtrack. The song is track numbers 1 and 17.

Hopefully this is what your looking for. But it is just a guess on my part.

Yeah, that's it. I just watched it the other night. Sorry, I forget the title of the song/who does it, but it was something with "The windmills of your mind."

Wow, i think that thats it, thats awesome, THANK YOU SO MUCH!

 

[goodasgold]

Good guess from me. I should try guessing more often.

Thomas Crown Affair

Does anyone know the name of the music (...passionate) that plays during the sex scene with Russo and Brosnan?

I don't believe it's on the OST.
