TO CATCH A THIEF (1955) ¢ ¢ ¢
D: Alfred Hitchcock
Cary Grant, Grace Kelly, John Williams,
Jessie Royce Landis, Charles Vanel, Brigitte Auber
This movie looks like something Alfred Hitchcock, Cary Grant and Grace Kelly tossed off while they were on vacation together in the South of France. It's a lark, starring Grant as a retired cat burglar (the notorious "Cat"), who has to clear his name when another thief commits a series of heists, framing him for them by copying his methods. Famous fireworks go off when Grant and Kelly are together, but she's all ice. Brigitte Auber, as the daughter of an old Resistance colleague, looks like she'd be more fun to run into on the Riviera.
