Alfred Hitchcock was a genius. I've seen most of his movies, but the only one I actually own is To Catch a Thief. Grace Kelly is unstoppable. Rich and fashionable, a bit spoiled, mischievous and clever. Her outfits alone could carry the film. And then there is her counterpart, the "cat burglar" himself played by the dashing and witty Cary Grant.
If I wasn't already fantasizing about the French Riviera, this film would do the trick. The waters are warm, the air is sweet, the villas are charming and the people are beautiful. I'm not entirely sure that the Riviera is this luxurious, but Hitchcock does a superb job of making us believe it is.
(To Catch a Thief, 1955).
