Hitchcock, Grant, Kelly, the French Riviera, this film had so many great things going for it that I was sure to enjoy it. Unfortunately, other than it visual appeal it just didn't bring much else to the table. It's a mystery/suspense thriller but delivers very little of any those qualities. If you're a Hitchcock fan then you should of course see it, for everyone else, use caution.

Love this movie, it depicts a man framed for stealing items that he did not take because of his reputation for what he did during WWII. the film stars Carey Grant who once again reprises the mild comedy in his acting. the movie is definitely a great mystery and love story for those who like that theme. the plot twists and the fact that the true thief is not known until the very end of the movie compels the viewer to focus and stay enthralled in the action the entire distance. definitely would recommend

Hitchcock directed this movie but its not like his other movies. It avoids his niche of suspense movies and he uses his art to create a less horrific film. The movie is very funny with Cary Grant making jokes and doing funny things. Hitchcock uses his technique of music to really make you feel what's going on. The music builds suspense and he uses it to make you feel the way he wants you to. The cast of Cary Grant and Grace Kelly are very good choices for the roles they play. Grace a young American girl and Cary a cool headed ex thief. The costume design matches the period and the location. The ball scene is completely ridiculous though. The costumes in this scene are outlandish. Hitchcock used an interesting technique for night shots by turning everything green. Not sure if it was a limitation of the equipment or if it was a technique he chose purposely to do. Either way the lighting in the rest of the movie is excellent. The movie is almost like a James bond movie because it has car chases and some fighting interspersed. The movie is one of Hitchcock's lesser known masterpieces.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I starting watching to movie so I was surprised that I liked it so much. The quality of this film is very, very impressive. All the bright colors and angles that the camera provided really made me want to be in the movie. I loved the scene when the police and Robi get in a wrestling match in a giant pile of flowers and then the old women is so angry with Robi. I also loved the extravagant costume party scene. Everything was so over the top and filled with detail, which made me never want to take my eyes off the screen. Frances Stevens was so beautiful in it, but her character was annoying to me, I just wanted her to leave John Robi alone! The most surprising part for me was the end of the movie when you find out that it was Danielle who has been stealing throughout the movie. It was a great movie!
