The night scenes, shot in a menacing green-tinged hue, provoke a sense of mystery throughout, never knowing who Grant's thief can trust.
A beautiful travelogue through the French Riviera in gorgeous Technicolor that Hitchcock continued to shoot in, To Catch a Thief is a film that coasts by on the strength of its directors' visual style while finding a balance with the charisma of its stars. Cary Grant plays a retired master thief who must catch a new copycat cat burglar to clear his name, all while falling for an incredible Grace Kelly. The night scenes, shot in a menacing green-tinged hue, provoke a sense of mystery throughout, never knowing who Grant's thief can trust. To Catch a Thief is a masterclass of visual splendor and immaculate design.
