To Catch a Thief
1955, NR, 106 min. Directed by Alfred Hitchcock. Starring Cary Grant, Grace Kelly, Jessie Royce Landis.
REVIEWED By Marjorie Baumgarten, Thu., Nov. 11, 1999
Cary Grant plays a reformed cat burglar on the French Riviera who vindicates himself from new suspicions with the help of the beautifully bedecked Grace Kelly. Hitchcock tools this mistaken-identity tale as more of a romantic comedy than a thriller. It was during this location shoot that Kelly met Prince Rainier.
