Rafi แก้ว M Prime Hitchcock, fun to watch, good plot twists. The scenery of the French Riviera, both in the villas, driving the winding roads, and from the water are stars in themselves, with spectacular views of the Oceanographic Museum better than any others I've seen. Playful and enjoyable, this is suspense of the mild, enjoyable kind, with a few slightly scary moments. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/27/25 Full Review Autumn M To Catch a Thief is definitely more comedy than thriller. I think that this is why Hitchcock fans often view this caper film as a middling film in the Hitchcock library. Personally, I really enjoyed it. To Catch a Thief is the story of retired jewel thief, John Robie who finds himself accused of a recent rash of robberies, and decides to find out for himself who the thief is. Grace Kelly and Cary Grant are electric in the lead roles. I love the witty banter between them, and the other characters. However, I am more inclined to like the melodramas and comedies from midcentury, than the thrillers for the simple fact that the plots are no match for the Bond films, The Italian Job, Mission Impossible and other more modern thrillers. If you are looking for a more traditional Hitchcock film, you may not like it; but if you can view it as just a beautiful, funny film; it is definitely worth a watch. Recommended. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/05/25 Full Review Hector I After the superb Rear Window, To Catch a Thief is somewhat of an exception. Here we follow a former burglar, “The Cat” (Cary Grant), who lives peacefully on the French Riviera. One day, a burglar targets the wealthiest residents using The Cat's methods. To prove his innocence, he tries to track down the thief, crossing paths with Frances (Grace Kelly) along the way. The film features stunning shots of the French Riviera between Nice and Cannes, and Grace Kelly is truly magnificent. But that's about it. It's a little funny, a little detective-like, a little romantic, but rather disappointing for the Master. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/12/25 Full Review Nicolas J Masterpiece. Fun and thrilling. People always focus on Hitchcock as the master of suspense, but they forget how funny he is.
