To Catch A Thief
Originally released: 1955
Boring tanned travelogue on the wrong side of breezy. There's a jewel thief at large on the Riveria, and all the evidence points to retired cat burglar Cary Grant. Grace Kelly (out of place) and mum Jessie Royce Landis (a breath of brash cigarette smoke) are divided over him: Landis trusts him and Kelly gets off on the hope that he is a criminal. Too long and unexciting, but occasionally lifted by the odd bit of visual wit - fireworks orgasmically erupting behind Grant and Kelly as they kiss; Landis stubbing out her fag in a fried egg.
