To Catch a Thief—unusual Alfred Hitchcock film—features Cary Grant in a grand story of cat burglars targeting high end jewels and other valuables of high society. Watch for the dialogue ‘patter’ between Grant and Grace Kelly. That same ‘patter’ is used in the film, North by Northwest between Grant and Eva Marie Saint. The acting runs as Grant runs and is supported with a great presentation and a good story. It is a very watchable story for Cary Grant fans.
