To Catch a Thief. Perhaps I am trying too hard to like it. I usually prefer style and wit over thrills, I like the actors, the setting, the story but somehow for me it's just, as they say, "meh". But this really belongs in the "esteemed movies I don't get" thread, eh ? (Bad Bat) If one wants to look for a more surprising element, consider how Hitchcock eschews his self-articulated maxim of "surprise versus suspense." The topic would make for an intriguing discussion: why does Hitchcock go against his grain in this film, and how effective does his choice happen to be? Your observation's indeed intriguing. For the purposes of such a discussion, would you mind specifying the way(s) in which he goes against his grain? I have a supposition or two, but don't wish to initiate anything that might be based on an errant one, so I thought it best to first ask. |
