idea that the more tumultuous society of the time would be less inclined to sympathize with a man who committed armed robbery out of boredom. Steve McQueen's version of Thomas Crown has no physical involvement in the actual robbery; he is a behind-the-scenes mastermind. Pierce Brosnan's version steals the painting himself. In the original, Crown pilots the glider himself, alone; in the remake he takes Banning for a ride. The two movies end differently. In the original, the insurance investigator betrays Crown but he escapes, saddened that she did not join him. In the remake, after the betrayal and the

A hand reaches through the seats from behind her and gives her a handkerchief while using a voice that doesn't quite sound right. She looks in the seat behind her to find Crown. She leaps at him, furious at his actions. The stewardess comes to see what the commotion is, but by then Crown has calmed her by kissing her. She then whispers in his ear, "If you pull a stunt like that again, I'll break both your arms". Dunaway played the Catherine Banning role in the

remake of Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 film "Psycho". With the exception of shot-for-shot remakes, most remakes make significant character, plot, genre and theme changes. For example, the 1968 film "The Thomas Crown Affair" is centered on a bank robbery, while its 1999 remake involves the theft of a valuable piece of artwork. The 1999 remake of "The Mummy" was viewed primarily as "a reimagining" in a different genre (adventure). Similarly, when the 1969 film "The Italian Job" was remade in 2003, few aspects were carried over. Another example is the 1932 film "Scarface" which was remade in 1983 starring Al Pacino;

The film makes several major changes from the original, most notably the amount of nudity and intimacy displayed during the romance between the two main characters. The original was rated PG; the remake, rated R. The original story is about a millionaire masterminding a bank heist in Boston; the remake portrays a billionaire art thief in New York City. There was no painting stolen in the first film, with Crown and his men instead stealing $2.6 million in cash from a bank. The change in the remake was based on the

Feeling betrayed, she hands McCann photographs of the borders of the Monet, stating that they are photographed before being insured so a forgery can be discerned. Banning is not the only one with mixed feelings. Crown's therapist warns him that he and Banning are very much alike, and she won't realize that he truly cared for her until she's lost him. They continue to date and he asks her to leave with

The second (who is in jail) sparks curiosity in Banning and she thinks there is something he knows, but isn't saying. She then goes to see Crown, and finds him packing with Anna. Feeling used, she turns to leave and he attempts to stop her so he can explain. He promises that there is nothing going on between him and Anna and that she merely wanted to be paid for

McCann gets a phone call and divulges that the forger was Anna, the daughter of one of the forgers they visited, Heinrich Knutzhorn. Her father had owned a gallery with Crown and he had become her guardian when her father had gone to prison. Banning is mortified at her mistake and even more so when Crown shows up dressed as the man in the painting, "The Son of Man". McCann asks if she warned him and when she insists she did not, he responds that Crown knew she would betray him. He quickly blends into the crowd while sending the

When Banning goes to the location she was supposed to meet Crown, she encounters a man she thinks is him. However, when he turns around, it is one of the men from the museum dressed as the Son of Man with a gift from Crown for her: the newly stolen Manet. Devastated, she goes to the airport and asks the clerk to mail the painting to McCann at police headquarters before she catches a flight to Britain. Visibly

What occurred is now clear; immediately after stealing the original Monet painting, Crown had Anna forge a Pissarro over it with watercolor and replaced it via the donation two days later. However, when the shields retract, they find another painting is missing. It is the painting Banning told Crown on their first date she would have taken instead of the Monet.

In the remake, "The Windmills of Your Mind" plays during the ballroom scene, as background music in a couple other scenes, and during the credits at the end; the song earned an Oscar for the original film. Both films share a nearly identical scene with Crown playing high-stakes golf, and in both films Crown pilots a glider for recreation.

He gives her a date, time and location to meet him after he returns it and kisses her, giving her the option of leaving with him or turning him in. She breaks away in tears and leaves.

She goes back to the room with McCann where she realizes that one bench only has two legs, when in the video it had three, suggesting the third leg was actually a briefcase.

She was the only daughter of King Thomas and Queen Catherine, who also had a son named Sigismund. When Thomas died, in July 1461, the Bosnian crown devolved upon her older half-brother, Stephen Tomašević. Catherine and Sigismund are popularly said to have moved at that time with their mother to the castle of Kozograd above Fojnica. It is likely, however, that they remained at the royal court in Jajce, being their half-brother's closest heirs.
