Movie Review: To Catch a Thief

My husband and I love Alfred Hitchcock movies, and we'd thought we'd seen all the ones worth seeing. A few weeks ago I was looking at something else entirely on IMDB when I stumbled across To Catch a Thief (1955). Last weekend my husband and I were looking for something to watch on Netflix after the kids were in bed, and I decided Cary Grant and Grace Kelly were too awesome to pass up.

Both my husband and I loved To Catch a Thief. In classic Hitchcock style, there's witty dialogue, interesting characters, red herrings, long camera shots, great buildup to a nailbiting ending, and awesome costumes by Edith Head. Seriously, I would love to own almost every item of clothing Grace Kelly wore in that movie.

Cary Grant plays a former cat burglar who is under suspicion for a new string of thefts in the south of France. He decides to catch the thief before the police catch him. He meets Grace Kelly along the way, and she figures out who he is and is convinced he's the thief. Through an elaborate plan involving the insurance agent, Grant, Kelly, and her mother finally catch the real burglar.

We had a great time watching, and it took us quite awhile to figure out who the thief was. Go watch it.
