Review of To Catch a Thief (1955) by Steven C — 30 Mar 2011
"To Catch a Thief" is Alfred Hitchcock's fluffiest film. There is no weight to any of it. This is not to say it's a bad film, on the contrary, it's quite fun. It's in that airiness, and not to mention the gorgeous French Riviera, where the movie delights (the firework scene is a favorite).
Cary Grant and Grace Kelly are serviceable and gorgeous, but have very little to do in terms of acting. This is just Hitch playing around and even then it's much better than other films released in 1955.
