To Catch a Thiefis not one of Alfred Hitchcock's greatest, but it's arguably his most ... more
stylish thriller, loved as much for the elegantly erotic banter between Grace Kelly and Cary Grant as for the suspense that ensues when retired burglar Grant attempts to net the copycat diamond thief. The action, much of it shot on location, hugs the coast of the French Riviera; John Michael Hayes' screenplay crackles with doubles entendres; and Edith Head's dresses define the aloof poise of one of cinema's more enigmatic icons.If anything is missing, it's the undertow of black humour which snags the unsuspecting viewer in so many of Hitchcock's greater films. Here, the edge is supplied by the splendid Jessie Royce Landis as Kelly's vulgar, worldly mother; her special way with a fried egg is one of those cinematic moments which linger in the mind with almost pornographic disgust. History, of course, delivered its own ironic blow years later when the then Princess Grace of Monaco died in an accident on the very road where Kelly and Grant shot their exhilarating car chase. Portents aside, she remains Hitchcock's most alluring and sophisticated heroine.On the DVD:To Catch a Thiefis presented in 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen, which distils the distinctive qualities of the VistaVision cinematography, and with a mono Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack. Interesting extras include several mini-documentaries in which Hitchcock's daughter and granddaughter, among others, reminisce about the great director, censor problems over the risqué dialogue, the talents of costume designer Edith Head, and the peculiar difficulties of shooting in VistaVision. An original theatrical trailer is another bonus. --Piers Ford

Advantages: Highly entertaining cinema Disadvantages: Not a thing
version that well, as I watched it in the cinema and it was before the days of VCR and DVD players. But I do remember thoroughly enjoying it (as I do most Steve McQueen movies) which is the reason I had avoided watching this remake for so long, studiously avoiding it on the shelves of the local video shop and in the Sky Movie listings. But a cold, wet December evening and a dearth of anything else decent to watch on the gogglebox led me to view it for the first time during the past week. I?m very glad I did. Isn?t it a real bonus when you begin to watch a movie with no real expectations of it being anything special and then it turns out to be an absolute gem?

Scarface is my all-time favorite film, Starring Al Pacino as gangland mobster Tony Montana. His rise from the rough streets of Cuba to the top of Miami's drug fuelled empire. Tony Montana wanted it all wealth, power and control, he was living this life, which they call the American Dream.
This film is surely a true great. It's greed for wealthness would make you envious. There's always a saying for people like Tony, ' the person that wants too much from life, risk ...

Advantages: Performances are great and it is good fun Disadvantages: Maybe a little light for true Hitchcock fans
This has been known as one of Hitchcock's 'lesser' films. It stars Cary grant as a former jewel thief in the French Riviera. When there is a spate of roberies Grant is the first suspect. he sets out to proclaim his innocence to all including Grace kelly, the daughter of a jewel clad millionaire widow (played immpecably by Jessie Royce Landis), who suspects him and falls madly for his dangerous charm. I found this to be a highly enjoyable and entertaining film. perhaps not one Hitchcock's best, it certainly lacks the dark elements of many of his masterpieces, but the performaces are thoroughly enjoable throughout. Grant plays his usual self with aplomb and there is a fine turn by John Williams as the insurance agent that helps grant find the thief by helping him find the richest ladies on the Riviera. the chemistry between Grant and Kelly ...

DVD Description
A supposedly reformed cat burglar, out to prove himself innocent of a recent crime spree, tries to capture the thief who's terrifying the French Riviera. Cary Grant is devastatingly elegant as the former thief, John Robie, and charming enough to attract the attention of the lovely Frances Stevens (Grace Kelly), a wealthy and spoiled American traveling the Riviera with her widowed mother (Jessie Royce Landis). However, things do not begin on a romantic note. Robie is more interested in clearing his name than in pursuing the beautiful American, but the two will not go their separate ways so easily. When Mrs. Stevens has her jewels stolen, the snubbed Frances puts the police on Robie's trail. Now the dashing Robie will have to win the confidence and assistance of Frances if he is to ever set things right. The stars are radiant together, with an entrancing chemistry that sparkles, especially in the impromptu ad-libbed dialogue of the picnic scene. A series of elaborate set pieces combined with dramatic Riviera scenery make the film an enduring glamorous spectacle, featuring a fireworks kissing scene that is truly a classic.
