To Catch a Thief

TO CATCH A THIEF (1955) - Jan. 5, 2005
Cary Grant is his usual charming self in this movie about a retired jewel thief who needs to clear his name when he's falsely accused of a string of robberies. It is, unfortunately, not a heist movie -- I guess a heist movie by Alfred Hitchcock would be too good to be true. And while it's entertaining throughout, it's definitely a lesser Hitchcock movie -- there's just nothing all that special about it (unlike pretty much every other Hitchcock movie I've seen so far). ***
