Doghouse said - To Catch A Thief is probably the lightest and fluffiest of Hitchcock's "wrong man" exercises: low on thrills and long on style. On that basis, I can understand any viewer perhaps not finding it to be among the most compelling of Hitch's work. But its wit, elegance and beauty, filtered through that emblematic Hitchcock style, go a long way with me. The most recent master from which the Blu-ray and HD broadcasts have been derived from VistaVision source elements yields images that are knock-your-eye-out stunning.
To Catch A Thief is my Hitchcock "comfort food". It's not nearly my favourite of his movies but it's the one I can watch any time regardless of mood and I know I'll enjoy it. It's also the only movie where I love Grace Kelly, who I usually can't stand even if she's easy on the eyes.
