To Catch a Thief

To Catch a Thief (1955) starring Cary Grant, Grace Kelly. Directed by Alfred Hitchcock. Interesting Hitchcock concoction, set on the French Riviera, with Grant as a reformed jewel thief formerly known as "The Cat," and Kelly as a rich American visiting France with her mother. Naturally, they fall in love. At the time of filming, Grant was about 50, Kelly 26. The dialogue is a bit stilted at times, but the movie still has that Hitchcock touch, which makes it worth watching. The French scenery is a big plus. (Subtitles in English are available, as well as closed captions.) Grade: B+
