John Robie (Cary Grant), a former French Resistance fighter and cat burglar, is enjoying his early retirement in the Riviera when a series of thefts make him once more the prime suspect—and for the beautiful heiress Frances Stevens (Grace Kelly), these suspicions only add to his appeal. Alfred Hitchcock paired two of Hollywood’s most effortlessly glamorous stars for this witty combination of romantic comedy and caper thriller, adapted by John Michael Hayes (Rear Window, 1954) from the novel by David Dodge. The Oscar-winning VistaVision cinematography of Hitchcock’s regular collaborator Robert Burks (Strangers on a Train, 1951) captures the beauty of the co-stars and the setting in all its splendor.
