Thomas Crown Affair
I remembered the glider loop in ThomasCrown 1, and asked for the movie.
Santa brought me ThomasCrown 1 & 11 The glider doing the loop in TC1 and the glider doing the barrel roll in TC11 were remarkably different; but the story lines were similar - though TC11 was better - with its happy if illicit ending... TC1 offered RollsRoyce, Ferrari (or was it ragtop Etype?) Dune Buggy, Polo, gliding, a bank heist and South America. TC2 offered racing cats capsizing, gliding and art heists. Brian W |

I beg to disagree. The glider scene in TC I is reasonably realistic,
the "piloting lesson" in TC II is downright ridiculous (though the scenery is stunning). And why they had to reverse the canopy opening of the DuoDiscus remains a mystery to me. |

The shot required the camera to be over the head of the actress - and is a reflection from a first surface mirror on her lap! Both actor and actress had their hair restyled to make the reversal non-apparent to all but us glider pilots. Tom Knauff & Doris Grove had an excellent presentation on the filming at one convention, followed by a neat article in Soaring. Now that those are online- you can probably search for it. |
