Plot: This minor 1955 work by Alfred Hitchcock, one of the lighter entries of his creative peak in the 1950s, is still imbued with the master's stock themes of shared guilt and romantic ambivalence. It is a...( read more read more... )lso hardly lacking in Hitchcockian cinematic inventiveness, such as a famous, often-imitated sequence in which some smooching between stars Cary Grant and Grace Kelly is intercut with a fireworks show that just happens to be going on outside in a Riviera setting. Grant plays a reformed cat burglar who is suspected of reviving his trade, though he knows someone else is using his old methods. A very enjoyable experience, but don't get this confused with Hitchcock's other Cary Grant film of that decade, which was a masterpiece: North by Northwest. --Tom Keogh

    To say this is a thriller is a bit off the mark, I would rather say this is a suspense comedy, it isn´t a full blown com,edy of course but it is one of Hitchcock´s funniest he ever did and it is also one filled with alot of effortless class. Cary Grant and the beautiful Grace Kelly spark off eachother. Cary Grant plays a retired thief John "The Cat" Robie but is immedietely blamed when jewellery is stolen and has to catch the copycat to clear himself, cat and mouse games ensue. To Catch a Thief is Hitchcock at his best and one of his most beautiful movies.

    This is my favourite of the old fun chic 50's film. A sheer vacation, with brilliant filmmaking to booth. Plus Grace Kelly has never been more beautiful.

    Un autre classique de Hitchcock dont la réputation n'est plus à faire. Magnifiquement tourné et doté d'une superbe direction photographique, ce film bénéficie également de la présence de Grace Kelly qui éblouit par son charme bourgeois et son élégance. Son idylle avec un Cary Grant de cinquante ans n'est par contre pas tout à fait convaincante...

    L'intrigue remplit son mandat sans toutefois être tout à fait captivante. Disons que les éléments visuels et techniques aident à garder le spectateur éveillé pendant les longueurs. Qu'on ne se méprenne pas, cette oeuvre a bien la petite touche narrative de Hitchcock qui fait qu'on ne décroche jamais vraiment, mais certains passages manquent un peu de vitesse d'exécution. La scène finale mémorable doit cependant être vue.
