Review

A star rating of 4 out of 5.

Robyn Karney

Alfred Hitchcock devised this witty romantic mystery to team his blonde obsession at the time, Grace Kelly, with his old favourite, Cary Grant. Sandwiched between the director's masterworks Rear Window and The Trouble with Harry, and therefore often overlooked, this box-office hit follows a retired jewel thief's attempts to catch a copycat criminal. Adhering to the director's customary droll intentions, Grant and Kelly are on sparkling form, as is Jessie Royce Landis as the latter's formidable and smirky mother, and the French Riviera is beautifully captured by the Oscar-winning cinematography of Robert Burks.
