Gettin' Lean-n-Mean To Catch A Thief!

Date of Review:  Nov 27, 2002
The Bottom Line: 665 words on why I like, but don't love To Catch A Thief
Review: Hitchcock described a MacGuffin as a device or a gimmick which drives the plot, but which would defy closer examination. With Hitch's To Catch A Thief, the entire darned plot is a MacGuffin. There's something about jewels and burglars and the...

To Catch a Thief -- Alfred Hitchcock directs Cary Grant and Grace Kelly

Date of Review:  May 7, 2005
The Bottom Line: In a who-stole-the-jewels movie, Grant and Kelly are good, but the story isn't strong enough to support their talents.
Review: Alfred Hitchcock has long been known as one of the kings of the suspense movie, but I think that his direction of To Catch a Thief, was actually in a different direction, and didn't hold up the suspense level of his normal efforts. Cary Grant stars...

Don't Burn Up All the Fireworks, John: To Catch a Thief

Date of Review:  Jun 8, 2007
The Bottom Line: Probably as close as Alfred Hitchcock ever got to making a "chick flick," To Catch a Thief is a good date movie with spectacular travelogue footage of the French Riviera.
Review: To Catch a Thief (1955)

Alfred Hitchcock makes what amounts to a change of pace from his normal nail biter, in his expertly photographed suspense thriller of a jewel thief whose hunting ground is the French Riviera in To Catch a Thief...

The Cat Comes Out of Retirement: Hitchcock's To Catch a Thief

Date of Review:  Apr 15, 2008
The Bottom Line: Francie: I've never caught a jewel thief before. It's stimulating. It's like... John: Like sitting in a hot tub?
Review: John Robie is a jewel thief called the Cat. Or at least he used to be, back in the heyday of his criminal career. He went clean years ago and has been living a quiet, reclusive life in a French chalet, where his main companions are his actual cat...

Watch Cary Grant and Grace Kelly Flirt in To Catch a Thief

Date of Review:  Jan 17, 2009
The Bottom Line: This may be Hitchcock light, but it is plenty of fun.
Review: Hitchcock made a name for himself with his suspense films. Then there's To Catch a Thief. Oh, there's a mystery here. But the suspense is pretty light and the middle section focuses more on a budding romance then anything else. And that makes this...

Send a thief to catch a thief

Date of Review:  Nov 18, 2000
Review: John Robie (Cary Grant) is a ex-jewel thief that was known as the cat. We find this out when a newspaper is zoomed up on in his villa, an interesting way to find out the plot of a movie. He climbed up walls over roofs and disappeared in the night,...

Suspense, Just Right

Date of Review:  Jan 29, 2000
Review: This is a great movie. I love to watch it every chance I get. When I look at recent suspense movies, I always miss the atmosphere of movies like ?To Catch a Thief?. Alfred Hitchcock movies from this time period were able to keep you on the edge of...

Grant & Kelly Sizzle on the Riviera!

Date of Review:  Mar 3, 2008
The Bottom Line: This is the perfect combination of Hollywood's greatest direction and lead acors from the 1950's. A wonderful classic film not to be missed!
Review: This may not be Hitchcock's most suspenseful film, but what an amazing backdrop against the French Riviera! Cary Grant plays John Robie, a former jewel thief who is now working to clear his name and catch the current copy cat thief whose on the...

To Catch a Thief (1955)

Date of Review:  Dec 11, 1999
Review: Director Alfred Hitchcock probably intended "To Catch a Thief" to be a change of pace. Hitchcock was deservedly called 'The Master of Suspense', but there's little to be had in this lesser outing. The emphasis instead is on cinematography and...
