Simply begs the question, who is more immoral?

I couldn't have said it better myself, danielj. Good, simple post.

Of course, you could also say that this was a zero sum game they were playing: each wanted to have his/her cake and eat it too (i.e., get laid AND get away with their own plan). McQueen simply beat her to the punch.


"Sorry. I wasn't listening, or thinking, whichever one applies."

I think that Dunnaway's character absolutely knew whose side she was on (the law) every bit as much as Steve McQueen did.

McQueen's character may have been the one in the least emotional control durring the course of the relationship, as the whole relationship was, from Dunnaway's point of view, a plot from the very beginning. McQueen's character seemed to fall in love more so than Dunnaway, but McQueen was trying to be seductive as well, though not for the same reason.

Dunnaway tried to seduce McQueen because she knew she was hot and felt like she could get McQueen to fall for her and fall for her plot...

McQueen tried to seduce Dunnaway just to see if he could do it and bust up her plot, as a way of challenging himself.

Simply a game, a chess match between two minds. Crown came out on top because he knew the true nature of Vickki and how she would act in the end. That true nature is that she would take more pleasure/statisfactioon in CATCHING him than becoming his partner.

The smile, was because Crown knew he made the right choice. (He could call the driver and ask if there were any police there) Vickki was sobbing not only because she has been bested by Crown, but also because of chance to become Crown's partner pasted her by.


"This picture of Al Dutcher bothers me."

Faye Dunaway (as in most of her films) comes across as so cold and b*tchy that it's hard to believe she would be sexually/romantically attracted to anyone.

Kindly stop feeding the ignorance that pervades America, DanielJ_Old999:

________ To "beg the question" means to commit the logical fallacy of assuming the truth of that which one intends or pretends to prove. Begging the question is a type of circular (and hence false) logic. An example of begging the question might be the statement, "I know that God exists because the Bible says so."

________ To "beg the question" does not mean to raise a question, or to demand the answer to a question, or to call into question, or anything even remotely related. That so many of the popular and prominent voices in America misuse the expression (typically with a tone of authority for the sake of emphasis or entertainment) does not change the fact that it offends the ear of cultivated speakers of English as much as such equally popular instances of ignorance as "between she and I."

Yeah, her character kidnaps a CHILD? Honestly? Wow! They didn't do that in the remake. Yes, her character has ZERO morals, to put it mildly. This is a pretty sleepy movie, at best. Just watching two objectionable people playing each other. The film score is its only positive attribute. Even Haskell Wexler's cinematography is pretty straight down the middle.
