Review of To Catch a Thief (1955) by Fabio M — 05 Nov 2009
To Catch a Thief is a charming movie but quite different to other Hitchcock films. Other Hitchcock films made in the 50s like Vertigo, Dial M For Murder and Rear Window (Grace Kelly being in the last two) have strong story lines, brilliant camera-work and suspense.
To Catch a Thief's storyline almost seems a tad weak in comparison to those films, and it does not seem like a thriller, it seems like more along the lines of a romantic-comedy-crime movie. It is also slightly predictable and it wasn't too hard to guess the 'real cat burglar'.
Still, it is an entertaining movie and shows Hitchcock's versatility.
