In Norman Jewison’s 1968 crime caper, Steve McQueen stars as a rich and charming businessman—the last person to be suspected of being a bank-robbing mastermind—while Faye Dunaway portrays the insurance investigator assigned to the case. As the smart and seductive investigator proceeds in her search for the criminal, her sights become set on the millionaire thrill-seeker. Filmed in and around the Boston area, the film captures McQueen near the height of his powers and popularity. Legrand was nominated for two Academy Awards, including Best Original Score and Best Song (“The Windmills of Your Mind”).
