An underrated Hitchcock film
31 March 1999
OK.. OK... so it ain't Hitch at his best, but even when Hitch wasn't at his best he's still made movies that are much better than 99% of the crap made today.

I rather enjoyed this film. Sure it's flawed, but c'mon it's still a great movie. Actually I found the plot rather engaging... I had no idea who the real cat burglar was going to be. Cary Grant and Grace Kelly are excellent (as usual)... and Hitch's camerawork is always amazing... I especially loved how he handled the last 10 minutes or so, using almost no diologue and long shots as the party comes to a close. The French locale was also beautifully shot... (didn't this win an Oscar for cinematography?)

All in all, another great Hitchcock film that doesn't disappoint.
