To Catch a Thief

Why do you want to buy an ond car if you can get a new one cheaper? It will run better and last longer.

This is a very enjoyable romance mistery, with a good script, good actors, and a great direction. Alfred Hitchcock is amazing: in the suspense scenes, he uses his normal wway of shooting, wich obviosly works, and in the romance bits, he just shots in a way that makes you feel the sexual tension even more.

The two leads are great; Cary Grant creates an heroic icon, more than a flesh and blood person, wich sometimes work and others don't. Grace Kelly is simply, perfect: her character is full of light and beauty, and she irradiates both of them. By the way, her delivery of lines is amazing, fitting into each scene. When she's on the screen, it's impossible to stop looking at her, because she's so magnetic, and with a slight hint of mistery. The chemistry between them is incredlibly hot and beliavable, and you can almost feel it on your skin. The supporting actors are all excelent; my favorite was Brigitte Auber, who seemed so innocent and fresh.

The screenplay is good, though it could have been better. The resolution of the mistery didn't leave me entirely satisfied, but it wasn't bad, either. Cary Grant's character is a bit too heroic sometimes, but nothing too bad, either. Overall, a solid, enjoyable suspense movie.
