Lighthearted Hitchcock, Terrific co-stars, beautiful French Riviera photography
Paramount has issued a new Blu-ray series called Paramount Presents, featuring classic titles transferred from 4K masters. The movies have been chosen for their popularity and cultural impact. The first three of these releases are “Fatal Attraction,” “King Creole, “ and “To Catch a Thief.”<br /><br />“To Catch a Thief,” directed by Alfred Hitchcock, was released in 1955 and stars Cary Grant and Grace Kelly. It opens with leisurely views of the beautiful French Riviera in bright sunshine jarringly interrupted by a close-up of a woman screaming. She has just discovered that her valuable jewels have been stolen. A recent spate of similar jewel thefts throws suspicion on John Robie (Grant), who engineered similar robberies before World War II but claims never to have done so again. When the police arrive at his villa, Robie escapes, intent on discovering who is really committing the robberies and clearing his name.<br /><br />He seeks out Lloyds of London insurance agent H.H. Hughson (John Williams, “Dial M for Murder”) and explains that if he can discover the real robber and retrieve the jewelry, he will clear his name and Lloyd’s won’t have to pay out hundreds of thousands of dollars to cover their clients’ losses. Convinced, Hughson gives Robie a list of the clients currently visiting the Riviera who own the most expensive jewelry. Danielle Foussard (Brigitte Auber), the daughter of Robie’s old friend, helps Robie elude the police while he carries on his search.<br /><br />The top names on the client list are Jessie Stevens (Jessie Royce Landis) and her daughter Francie (Kelly). Pretending to be a lumber tycoon from Oregon, Robie introduces himself into the ladies’ good graces. He plans to use Jessie’s jewels to lure the thief into a trap. Meanwhile, Francie finds Robie fascinating and becomes very aggressive in pursuing him.<br /><br />The chemistry between Grant and Kelly gives the film considerable sexual tension. The screenplay by John Michael Hayes, however, has a meandering quality and the movie is not first-tier Hitchcock. Grant and Kelly’s exchange of double entendres adds to the fun of the film, but the main story of Robie’s quest to find the real culprit suffers.<br /><br />This movie belies comments that Hitchcock once made about stars. He felt the story was all important and high-priced stars were not needed to tell the story. Yet without Grant and Kelly, “To Catch a Thief” would be a pretty bland picture. Hitchcock’s later films “Topaz” and “Family Plot” had no major stars and are among the director’s least successful. Hitchcock was always fond of his blonde leading ladies, and Kelly, appearing in her last film for Hitchcock, gets the full star showcase treatment, from her lavish costumes by Edith Head to Robert Burks’ alluring Technicolor photography.<br /><br />Bonus materials on the Blu-ray release include an audio commentary, “Filmmaker Focus: Leonard Maltin on To Catch a Thief,” the brief featurette “Behind the Gates: Cary Grant and Grace Kelly,” original theatrical trailer in HD, and a foldout color reproduction of the film’s original poster. The following extras from the 2012 Blu-ray release are not included: “A Night With the Hitchcocks,” “Unacceptable Under the Code: Censorship in Hollywood,” “Writing and Casting To Catch a Thief,” and “The Making of To Catch a Thief.”
