Product Description
The French Riviera…two luminous stars (Grace Kelly, Cary Grant)… and the Master of Suspense, Alfred Hitchcock, behind the camera. They all add up to one romantic, dazzling screen thriller in this first time on Blu-ray edition. Grant plays John Robie, a retired jewel thief once known as “The Cat,” who catches the eye of Frances Stevens (Kelly), a pampered, vacationing heiress. But when a new rash of gem thefts occurs amongst the luxury hotels of the spectacular French playground, it appears that “The Cat” is on the prowl once again. Is Robie truly reformed? Or is he deviously using Frances to gain access to the tempting collection of fabulous jewelry belonging to her mother (Jessie Royce Landis)? Romantic sparks fly as the suspense builds in this glittering Hitchcock classic that nabbed an Oscar® for Best Cinematography.

DVD EXTRAS for the Special Collector's Edition - What a Funny Romantic Suspense Movie!

- Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2012My preference is for Hitchcock's grittier suspense movies, but "To Catch a Thief" has so many things going for it, I can't give it less than 5 stars!
It's the early 50's and in an introduction, we see the arms only of a black-gloved thief stealing jewelry. Then to a French Villa, where the housekeeper sees a newspaper heading: "The Cat Prowls Again?" The column continues, "Is it true, or just a rumor - that John Robie, former cat burglar of Paris before the war, is once again on the prowl? Fashionable resorts on the Riviera are being regularly looted by a skillful jewel thief. Robie, once a hero of the French Resistance Army, was said to have reformed - however, the style of this new crime wave is certainly his."
Robie, in his French sailor-like striped sweater with rakish red & white scarf, is not amused when the police arrive in force to "talk" to him. He escapes (cleverly) and goes to the restaurant of another reformed thief/Resistance fighter, Bertani. Robie tells him that he is not behind the new robberies, but no body believes him: "What I can't understand is how this thief can imitate me so perfectly. It has to be someone who knew every detail of my technique.... I've got to catch this imitator myself."
And that's what he does, aided by Mr. H.H. Hughson, an insurance agent who is very nervous indeed. Hughson manages an introduction to a likely future burglary victim, the redoubtable Mrs. Stevens and her cool calm and exceedingly beautiful daughter, Frances.
There are so many fabulous scenes between Grace Kelly and Cary Grant that it needs a book to describe them. And Grant has his humor on in several more scenes, such as when he's trying to escape through a flower market and a diminutive gray-haired flower seller stops him.
These are the extras on the one-disc DVD "Special Collector's Edition":
1. Commentary by Peter Bogdanovich and Laurent Bouzereau. Bogdanovich knew both Hitchcock and Grant, and Bouzereau co-wrote a book about Hitchcock with the director's daughter, Pat Hitchcock. "To Catch a Thief" was filmed right after the very successful "Rear Window", and Bogdanovich said that the later movie has more of a vacation quality to it; Hitchcock could be more relaxed. In his own words, Hitchcock could rely on the charm of two leading actors "who were beyond charming".
Grant was 50 years old when he filmed "To Catch a Thief", and he looks great. Bogdanovich and Bouzereau agree that he was in great shape, even though he never exercised. Or, rather, Bogdanovich tells us, Grant once told him that "he never exercised, he just made love."
Grace Kelly fell in love with Prince Rainier right after "To Catch a Thief", so it's her last movie.
2. "Writing and Casting 'To Catch a Thief' " a 2002 short with commentary by Pat Hitchcock (his daughter), Mary Stone (Hitchcock's granddaughter) and Steven deRosa (author, "Writing with Hitchcock"), accompanied by movie shots and stills as well as personal movies and photos. One of the things they touch on is how Hitchcock got the innuendo-laden dialogue and shots between Grant and Kelley past the PCA (Production Code Association).
3. "The Making of 'To Catch a Thief' ". The extras # 2, 3 and 4 were pretty much all filmed together, and then they divided them into three extras. Nothing wrong with it, but they could have put it into one long featurette. Commentators in this short are Mary Stone, Doc Erickson (production manager), Steven deRosa, Pat Hitchcock and Sylvette Baudrot (continuity in France). Baudrot remembers that Grant showed up for filming the beginning in a dress shirt with buttonholes on the collar. The film was supposed to take place right after the war, in '48-'49, and Baudrot told Hitchcock that the shirt-style was more modern and American, at that. And that's why John Robie is wearing a sweater with a scarf tied around his neck!
I also got a kick out of one of Mary Stone's reminisces. Her grandfather liked happy endings, she says, but he liked to have a last little twist at the end. In this case, the very last scene has Grant and Kelly embracing on his villa's porch and Kelly murmers, "So this is where you live. Oh, Mother will love it up here."!!
4. "Alfred Hitchcock and 'To Catch a Thief': An Appreciation " The same people as #2 & 3. Still interesting tidbits, just not sure why they divided it up like this.
5. "Edith Head - The Paramount Years". This documentary was filmed in 2002 and has also been an extra on a DVD release of "Sunset Blvd.". I hadn't seen this documentary before, however, and I really enjoyed it. Head's career spanned 60 years, 40 of them with Paramount. Commentors include David Chierichetti (Edith Head biographer), Tzetzi Ganev (head of Custom-Made Dept for Western Costume at Paramount), Bob Mackie (fashion designer) and Rosemary Clooney (actor, who knew Head from the movie "White Christmas").
Head got her first big break when the lead costume designer didn't get along with mega-star Clara Bow. He gave Bow's assignments to Head, who learned a big lesson from that which she carried throughout her whole career: Get along with everybody.
Head had told people that Hitchcock was her favorite director, and "To Catch a Thief" was "her all time favorite film".
6. Trailer
Lovely movie. I watch it for the humor - which can be tongue-in-cheek. Such as when Robie escapes by boarding a bus and ends up in the back seat. Between a woman with a bird in a cage and ... Alfred Hitchcock!

- Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2005What may be considered a minor work for Hitchcock, "To Catch A Thief" would be considered a great film if directed by anyone else. This little jewel from Monaco is in fact a great film, which has been overshadowed by its less glamorous siblings such as "North By Northwest".
As retired jewel thief John Robie "The Cat" Cary Grant is every inch a study in grace, strength and agility in all areas of his life, be it eluding the French police to escaping the finely set trap of Pacific Northwest Heiress Grace Kelly. He is as always the perfect image of a movie star and brings with him all the charm and style we expect from Cary Grant, but just beneath the surface there is something else. John Robie is someone who is hiding the real man he used to be submerged below the smooth glamour of his post war persona. He is very like the Cockney Archie Leach that lived buried deep below the skin of Cary Grant. This makes his performance all the more complex and compelling to watch. The duality of the star mirrors the duality of the character.
Grace Kelly is of course the perfection of all the blonde, icy hot, impossibly smart and beautiful objects of the Hitchcock world. But she two is hiding something in her performance in this film as she did all of her films. Just like Grant she is an imposter hiding behind a movie star. It is all in her voice, that beautiful upper mid Atlantic accent that no one else in her Philadelphia background shares. Her Frances Stevens is from the Northwest but by way of Bryn Mawr or Wellesley she has eradicated her past almost as well as Robie The Cat. Almost, that is except for the presence on this trip to the south of France of her bejeweled and earthy Mother.
Thus in the high and rarefied atmosphere of Cannes, Nice and Monte Carlo, these two imposters meet and are drawn by mutual understanding and attraction into a perfect little Hitchcock mystery. To watch these two unearthly beautiful actors as they move through the hotels, beaches and villas of the area is to watch perfection in every sense of divine fakery and double sided joy of their beauty and talent.
Jesse Royce Landis appears as Kelly's mother and with only a few words and a look nearly steals the picture. She is the only person in the story who is not hiding who she really is and in so doing is the comic center of not only the jewel thief's attentions but the pictures as well. She is the hook upon which the crook hangs.
The screenplay by John Michael Hayes who also wrote such varied fair as "Butterfield-8", "Peyton Place" and "Rear Window" here in this work comes up with some of the most clever lines and double entendre in the genre:
John Robie: Say something nice to her, Danielle.
Danielle: She looks a lot older up close.
Frances: To a mere child, anything over twenty might seem old.
The dialog is funny and full of delirious wit and a little wisdom as well.
Just like the two main characters in the film, "To Catch A Thief" is a great film hiding behind the mask of it's reputation as one of it's genius director's lesser efforts, don't buy it for a second. It is first-rate entertainment and not a paste imitation among the jewels of Hitchcock's repertoire. A finely crafted gem.

5.0 out of 5 stars To Catch A Thief 4K Review - Movie Collector's Perspective
Wow!
What an upgrade over any previous available version. The french landscapes are stunningly presented with vivid rich (and correct) colour. The Dolby Vision/VistaVision combo delivers another winner following November 2024's 4k release of 'White Christmas'.
A joy to behold. The bigger the screen the better - I watched this on a 65 inch. It's a great movie too with Cary Grant and Grace Kelly showing why they are such beloved, true movie stars and with Hitch directing you have the recipe for a perfect 105 minutes.
Paramount has given us a mixed bag of 4k releases over the years but with this one they can collectively pat themselves on the back.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of Hitchcock's best
A wonderful film, full of humour and suspense. The 4K transfer is excellent providing very vivid colours and a clear image.
The 5 stars are for the quality of the film only.
In terms of delivery, one star would have been too much. The film arrived in a simple case, with no padding whatsoever. The result was that the DVD case came broken into many peaces and being unusable to store the film. I had to find an empty Blu-ray film case to store it. Quite unacceptable dear Amazon.
