The Thomas Crown Affair (1999) - Master Monet Thief Scene (1/9) | Movieclips

[@user-dq1kr6zc2t]

This scene is so good. Pierce has that effortless look of someone who is experienced - patiently waiting for the opportune moment. Great scene in a classic.

[@carlosrivas1629]

Almost like a spy.

[@optimus2008]

@carlosrivas1629 Yeah, he'd be a great Bond. Best pre-21st century one for sure.

[@dianneduvarney2684]

I loved the music. It was a key “character” in the whole movie. Watch it whenever I find it!

[@RickMentore]

One of my favourite movies, Pierce Brosnan was at his best & Rene Russo sparkled. I wish Hollywood had higher regards for this genre of movie and acting.

[@seikibrian8641]

This was such a good film; one of the rare cases where I liked a remake better than the original, and I liked the original. I especially liked how they cast Faye Dunaway, who played the insurance investigator in the original, as Crown's psychiatrist in this one.

[@chrisparkes]

Fun fact: on the first day of filming, director John McTiernan noticed that Pierce’s body language was too “Bond”. The next day Pierce came with a completely new set of movements.

[@lindildeev5721]

Proof that Pierce IS Bond.

[@JohnWiIkesBooth]

Meh what would be the point? Every time he's in an intense sort of scene, wearing a suit, he's always gonna be Bond.

[@TheJonnyEnglish]

Yes, this is called an adjustment

[@ananimel722]

he is truly a great actor.From comedy,drama and even musical.I first saw him on Mrs Doubtfire and now he played great roles.God bless

[@optimus2008]

@lindildeev5721 Any actor who plays Bond is inevitably connected to it. Connery, Moore, Dalton and Lazenby are strictly remembered for Bond. Only Craig has ever managed to step out of Bond's shadow atleast slightly.

[@Panwere36]

The three most important parts of this remake is that in all of them they didn't make it a complete remake. It was a different theft, different real motive, and different all around cast. Brosnan and Russo just were absolutely electric in this, and their interactions really felt like foreplay leading up to them getting together.

[@douglas2lee929]

Regarding the folding, sometimes ya just gotta let go and go with the flow of a magical tale. The whole movie is art in itself. And beauty. Class. I found it extremely stimulating and exciting. That's what it was meant to do. And oh yeah, with a little humor along the way.

Steve Mcqueen's original was great and sometimes its difficult on the remake to be as good but this is great in a different way. Pierce Brosnan does a excellent job. I think the secret on remakes is put your own stamp on i,; script, music, the lot. Both great films.

This one didn’t have that much suspense. Not only was there drama or romance. I also found it to be like a comedy 🎭

[@baldilocks1914]

[@Ben82077]

To this day it drives me crazy how he fits a painting bigger than the briefcase and doesn’t break the wooden frame after he folds it…I always say “crunch” when Crowne folds the briefcase. (I think even John McTiernan said something about it in the commentary.) Crowne goes home, unfolds the briefcase…painting is fine-sets it up in the wall. My mind is going “HOW???!!!”

[@RM-we7px]

They should have had him with a case and doing charcoal drawings. So it makes sense he has a bigger case to fit the painting. Besides wouldn’t his finger prints be on the frame?

[@jasonchow5954]

⁠@@RM-we7pxhe had a glove on that he grabbed the frame with, but totally agree with the larger case

[@fodank]

1:55 This is the only flaw in the entire movie. The painting is removed from it's frame but you can clearly see a wooden sub frame supporting the canvas as it is manoeuvred into the magic old masterpiece folding machine. Then, through Hollywood magic, it is folded not once, but twice without damaging it in the least and now fits in a briefcase. This is Hollywood sleight of hand and it goes by quickly. Don't blink or you'll miss it (as the producers intended). When he removes it later there is no damage and not even a crease.... Still a great movie and made all the better by Denis Leary's magnificent deadpan portrayal of the detective. Love it. Cheers, D.

[@rizvaldo7209]

Yeah that part always annoys me because he is doing the whole job so smoothly and elegantly and then that happens.

[@DeathBringer769]

Yea, I was like, how is his briefcase folding the painting without damaging or creasing it?

I didn't think it was hidden at all. He even extends the brief case. I just took it as a wink-to-the-audience spy-magic kind of thing to set the tone for the movie.

[@MrScottwurth]

I was thinking the same thing

[@Just1Guy1000]

I saw something a week or so ago about there was a scene of him cutting the painting out of the frame that was deleted because producers were afraid it would anger the art enthusiasts showing him damaging the painting.

I believe the canvas was rather gently formed into a "U" inside the suitcase than hard folded into a "V" or worse "I" to leave a crease

Okay, what I never got was...he FOLDED IT IN HALF. Unless that's a magic Bag of Holding, he just destroyed the frame at the very least. There'd have been a visible crease in the returned piece.

[@olivierlamoureux2419]

This folding hunts me since 1996.

[@auricjgoldfinger]

Originally the film had Crown breaking the frame to allow it to fold (fan theory is that a device in the case did the dirty work) but it didn’t make the film because the director thought that the audience might be put off seeing Crown damage the painting.

[@TONYGILLEY]

One of the rare examples of a good remake, but it's hard not to notice that the painting would not fit into that specialized suitcase without breaking the wooden frame.

[@madhousenetwork]

frame doesn't matter. the painting does

[@aestice]

and when the wooden frame breaks the painting would rip / crease

[@upcom1ng116]

Yeah that was a weird scene. At 1:54 you can compare the size of the painting with the suitcase, maybe he could have put it in landscape but then 1:57 he turns suitcase horizontal and trying to fit painting in landscape for some weird reason. MY brain break after that.

The internet has made yall overly critical and sooooo lame

[@georgedroy]

Regarding the bending of the painting, later when Crown is in his home office placing the painting in the hidden safe, you can see small vertical lines at the top and bottom of the wooden canvas stretcher, almost like butting two pieces of wood together. With the kind of money, and possible connections (such as the forger's daughter) Crown might have, it's possible that he had a case built to do exactly that. I wonder if a Deleted Scene might have shown the briefcase with a type of mechanism that could have cleanly split the wooden stretcher without damaging the canvas.

[@rogerfinney6809]

This movie has a bunch of holes in the plot. It's still one of my all-time favorite movies. And I agree it's better (in my opinion) than the original.

[@moomoo3031]

1:57 is a great example of a film-making error that completely takes one out of the film and breaks its spell. Until this point, Crown is "real", the museum is "real", the thieves are "real". When he takes a wooden framed painting and folds it in half without breaking the wood and damaging the painting, and does it without any effort, the observant movie watcher is brought up short as they are informed that this is not real at all. It makes no sense in our world or in the world of the movie. A big distraction and a big flaw.

[@jaimy_games]

He removed the wood of course, and only folded the canvas which you can fold. Do you really think a master thief and a art lover would risk damaging the painting. Of course not. Just because you don't see every single step of a progress doesn't mean it does not happen.

[@encryptedwolf7623]

@@jaimy_games this was my thought process as well. I figured he has a full restoration setup in some undisclosed location where he repaired/restored it then reframed it and returned it before anyone noticed. Similar to the movie Bad Boys toward the end where Martin Lawrence got the car and rescued Will Smith. I actually had a dream that he was hobbling to the car with Tea Leoni's help and he humorously tries to slide over the hood to get to the driver's side. "It really tied the scene together."😎

[@kemurph2]

Everybody worried about folding the canvas. Number one: it's oil on canvas. Half the point of oil on canvas is durability; it's not watercolor on paper. Oil on canvas CAN be folded in half for a brief time without suffering much damage, obviously assuming you're not pressing along the crease to make a tight fold. Number two: he did NOT fold it in half. If you watch the actual scene, he clearly folds one third of the case over half of the painting and then bends the second half of the painting not in a crease but OVER the thickness of that first third of the case. The screenwriters clearly thought about this and if a canvas can be rolled with no problem, there should be no issues at all with the radius of curvature shown in this clip, which is probably like 3/8". You're all worried about the folding of the canvas and not the much more glaring problem: pretty easy to probe people's recollections and perhaps video for who was carrying a briefcase matching the description of the one that was (a) specially designed for strength (b) blocked the security gate and (c) was left behind at the scene.

Placing a briefcase under a bench is hardly a crime.

[@mjxw]

Yeah just in this scene alone there are some plot holes. Or rather, extremely high risk, uncontrollable aspects that no professional thief would tolerate. For instance, there's a "robbery attempt" in this gallery, but Crowne's plan relies on not a single security person trying to lock down the area personally or standing at the gates. And then, a crowd of people are walking down the hall to leave, and a man carrying a suitcase crawls under the wedged-open gate right next to them and... no one notices him?
