To Catch a Thief

HITCHCOCK!
at Amherst Cinema

Sunday 8/1   2:00pm
Wednesday 8/4   7:30pm

Cary Grant is a retired cat burglar on the Riviera and Grace Kelly is the spoiled American rich girl who seems to have the perpetual hots for him, in Alfred Hitchcock's fluffy 1955 exercise in light comedy, minimal mystery, and good-natured eroticism (the fireworks scene is a classic). Jessie Royce Landis (North by Northwest) is delightful as Kelly's clearheaded mother (she and Grant were born the same year, by the way), and John Williams gives expert support as usual.

Director Alfred Hitchcock.  1955, 107 mins, NR.  Restored 35mm Print.
