Movie Reviews of To Catch a Thief (The Centennial Collection)
Movie Review: Fantastic
Summary: 5 Stars
I was amazed at how sharp and colorful the picture is on this edition, better than some bluerays out there. In fact, after just buying Kellys Heroes on blueray and being very disappointed in the picture quality, I will look more closely before buying blueray and consider dvds remastered in high def. Also this is a great movie, in a series of great movies Hitchcock made in the 50's beginning with Dial M For Murder and ending,imo, with North By Northwest. This movie is much lighter than the rest, and while some dislike it for that reason, that's why it's a favorite to me.
Summary of To Catch a Thief (The Centennial Collection)
Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: 03/24/2009 Run time: 106 minutes Rating: NrOne of the creamiest of all of Alfred Hitchcock's films, To Catch a Thief is something like pure pleasure. Begin ticking off the ingredients of this 1955 movie and you'll get the picture: Cary Grant, Grace Kelly, the French Riviera, champagne, fireworks, cat burglary. Mmm, it already feels good. Grant plays a retired thief who becomes a suspect when valuable things begin disappearing along the Cote d'Azur. The diamonds hanging from the well-sculpted neck of Grace Kelly would appear to be the newest target, but it's just possible that actual romance might also be wafting through the Mediterranean air. The lightness of the story keeps To Catch a Thief from being one of the masterpieces of Hitchcock's great run in the 1950s, but it is very difficult to cavil about the sunny locations, Grant's elegant aplomb, and Kelly's shrewd withholding of her sexual interest beneath the ice-queen exterior. John Michael Hayes provided the amusing script (which stretches double entendres to their limit, especially in a romantic discussion of fried chicken), Edith Head the splendid costumes. If the movie has any weight at all, it's in proving that at this point in his career Hitchcock was consumed with charting the tricky terrain of male-female courtship; if issues of trust are treated here with a light touch, they nevertheless matter as much as the mechanical working-out of Mr. H's suspense stories. --Robert Horton
