When a string of jewel robberies hits the French Riviera, suspicion falls on retired thief John “The Cat” Robie. To clear his name, he sets out to trap the copycat himself—entangling a wealthy widow and her beguiling daughter in a seductive game of pursuit, deception, and desire.

To Catch a Thief is another entertaining thriller full of mystery from the master of suspense, Alfred Hitchcock. It’s known for being one of his more visually stunning films, shot largely on location in the French Riviera – a must-see on the big screen! The film stars Cary Grant as “The Cat” a retired jewel thief whose life gets upended when he’s put under suspicion for a series of heists that have taken place in France. To try to clear his name, he goes on an adventure to catch the thief himself, and, in the process, becomes entangled with an American heiress, played by Grace Kelly. To Catch a Thief is a perfect showcase of Hitchcock’s ability to turn romance into suspense, and remains a Hollywood classic over 70 years later. -TORONTO FILM SOCIETY
