Alfred Hitchcock’s To Catch a Thief

WANTED by the police in all the luxury-spots of Europe!... A catch for any woman!

Join us on Saturday, August 13 as we celebrate the birthday of the “Master of Suspense,” Alfred Hitchcock, with a prime time double feature of two of Hitchcock’s best: TO CATCH A THIEFVERTIGO. See one, or see ’em both!

Notorious cat burglar John Robie (Cary Grant) has long since retired to tend vineyards on the French Riviera. When a series of robberies is committed in his style, John must clear his name. Armed with a list of people who own the most expensive jewels currently in the area, John begins following the first owner, young Francie (Grace Kelly). When her jewels are stolen, Francie suspects John, destroying their tentative romance. John goes on the lam to catch the thief and clear his own name.

“It literally bubbles with humor, spice, sparkling dialogue and baffling complications which keep the moviegoer on tenterhooks right up to the heap big surprise ending.” (Orlando Sentinel)

“Francie finds something inauthentic in Robie: “like an American in an English movie”. Well, yes, perhaps. But Grant’s debonair and oddly unlocatable mid-Atlantic identity is absolutely right for the part.” (Guardian UK)

“The whole thing is really a condensed summer holiday, all hot sun and suavity.” (Financial Times)
