Another of Hitchcock's most famous thrillers stars Carey Grant and Grace Kelly. John Robie (Stewart) is a reformed jewel thief living in the French Riviera. When a series of robberies in the area are executed using his former methods, Robie must set out to catch the real thief and prove his innocence. Helping him is one of "The Cat's" possible targets, the beautiful and intriguing Frances Stevens (Kelly), a young and curious American craving an adventure. The film was surprisingly less suspenseful than I thought it was going to be. There were some very predictable parts, and at times Hitchcock's signature long takes dragged on to the point of practically boring. It is, nevertheless, decent entertainment, and even when Hitchcock isn't at his best, he is still pretty good. This film, unfortunately, wasn't terribly memorable, and didn't particularly stand out to me.
