Hitchcock's romantic comedy/thriller with Cary Grant and Grace Kelly (in her final film with the master of suspense). Grant is a reformed cat burglar, now living a quiet life in Cannes. When tourists to the French Riviera start falling victim to a spate of robberies that bear his old trademarks, he has to hunt the thief in order to prove his innocence. Winner of the top prize at Venice Film Festival 1955, To Catch a Thief is one of Hitchcock's lighter comedies and features a famous foreplay/fireworks cross-cutting sequence.
