Review of To Catch a Thief (1955) by Stcenterprise . — 12 May 2016

One thing which I did not like about the film was the beginning with the cat walking up and down on tile roof and then have three people say they had been robed. I think that it would have been better if that had been edited out and have instead a close up of a newspaper about the thefts and that person with the newspaper just begin talking about the thefts out load.

I liked the fact that the film would mislead you by not always following the John Robie when you thought they were doing a crim.

I liked that this film had several twist and that the thief who had lost most of his credibility really was telling the truth through the entire film about him not steely anything which I think made the film much more interesting.

I also liked the music and costumes for this film. The only costume I really did not like was John Robieâ(TM)s striped costume which he wore for most of the film since I felt that that costume did not fit the character he played because it was too plain for someone who had done crimes and enjoyed a richer lifestyle.

These characters created in this film were ones you felt you liked in all the cases.

During the film I felt there were only two characters who could be the cat thief, Grace Kelly's character Frances Stevens and Danielle Foussard.

This film has a very satisfactory ending as well as a great comedic and memorable line by Grace Kelly's character Frances Stevens. Ah So this is where you live? Oh, Mother will love it up here.?

This film I would have to consider one of Alfred Hitchcockâ(TM)s better films since it was not too strange and was not a horror film yet still kept you thinking like all his films.

I love the line Cary Grant says "It's such a pleasure to meet an issuance agent who pays such expensive claims.".

I find it interesting that no subtitles are provided for the French dialog.

This film makes an emphasis on food and pastries.

Green is used a lot in this film for roof tops and night scenes.

I really think it it is interesting how the car chase is shot where Grace Kelly shows enjoyment going super fast. And Cary Grant shows no stress on his face but all is shown based upon cuts to Cary Grant's hands and knees.

Charles Vanel it is so obvious that he was dubbed during his scenes because sometime the voice did not match up exactly with the mouth.

Edith Head did a great job on the costumes. Especially for the dresses on Grace Kelly.

I liked the use of the green filter in this film in the night sequences. It looked interesting.

I felt like at the end there was some well made suspense and drama as Cary Grant tried capturing the thief.

I like the opening helicopter car chase sequence with Cary Grant and the police.

I think it is interesting at the picnic scene where Cary Grant eats from the chicken. He goes at a part with very little meat there where he was eating.

I think that this film was very well edited. I liked the cuts.
