1.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Thomas Crown Affair (1999)?
a.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art refused permission for their interior to be used in the film, so the filmmakers used the New York Public Library, a few blocks, away for many interior scenes, and a sound stage for the rest. The exterior of the Metropolitan was shown several times, with permission from the city of New York.

c.
The film had the misfortune to open in America on June 24, 1977. It was so anticipated that the week of its release, the lines at Manns Chinese Theater were around the block. But during that time, a film called "Star Wars" (which had initially been released in only a few theaters across the nation) was put into wide release and the films blockbuster phenomenon started to take hold. By the second week of the release of "Sorcerer," the crowds in front of Manns Chinese Theater had completely dissipated to almost nothing. One San Francisco movie house, which had broken box office records when it showed "Star Wars," found its business dwindled to nothing when "Sorcerer" replaced it for a week. In the end, "Sorcerer" only recouped 9 million of its original 21 million dollar budget, making it a financial disaster.
d.
One scene gave the censors some consternation: A man asks a couple if he can cut into their dance, and while the woman says, "Sure!" and rushes towards him, he dances away with her partner. Upon hearing this,
Al Jolson
says with a twinkle in his eye: "Boys will be boys!" Warner Brothers refused to cut the scene (and it exists today in the Turner Classic Movies print). At the time, the Production Code was not rigorously enforced. Surprisingly, however, the movie was approved for reissue in 1936 despite this homosexual scene and the fact that someone gets away with murder, both clear violations of the Production Code.

The film, as shown in most countries, had the song "Yerushalayim Sheol Zahav" - Jerusalem of Gold - at the end.

The catamaran that Thomas Crown is seen racing in Long Island Sound is a D-Type Catamaran. The earliest Class D catamarans were designed and built by individual amateur designers as early as 1963. Richard Karcher, Watchung, NJ built either USD#1 or #2 at the time. His "D" boats were sailed on Barnegat Bay in New Jersey for several years on an experimental basis. Richard also designed and manufactured several other types limited production catamarans at the time, one of which was considered as the official Olympic Class Catamaran and participated in the trial in England. Due to the vast amount of power that this design represented, no "production" versions were ever produced and interest and research into this Class waned. Years later in the 1980s interest in this extremely fast and highly unstable yacht design was revived by California based aeronautical engineers who tried to break inshore multi-hull speed records. Today there are only a handful of them left in the world.
