Review of To Catch a Thief (1955) by Adam T — 07 May 2017
Cary Grant is a retired cat burglar, who is dismayed that someone is using his former modus operandi to rob the rich dowagers of the French Riviera of their jewellery. He feels the heat from the police and his former colleagues who are now trying to go straight.
His attempts to find the real culprit brings him up against an American heiress and her daughter, played by Grace Kelly. The romance between Grant and Kelly is the heart of the movie and lights the fireworks.
Elegant and easy on the eye, the movie captures a time when the Riviera was a byword for international style and sophistication.
