Recommandations

The Guardian
Hitchcock's superbly insouciant crime caper from 1955 must surely be one of the last movies in which the American super-rich are indulged so extravagantly and adoringly – the kind of people who stub their cigarettes out in fried eggs. - 91
The A.V. Club
Thief is giddy with eye candy, but the scenery is always secondary to the screenplay, which well serves the blinding star-power on display. - 88
LarsenOnFilm
A model for breezy, bantering filmmaking of the criminal kind, To Catch a Thief has the feel of being made while on a getaway vacation. - 80
CineVue
A constantly surprising treat of a film that returns more the less you give. - 75
Chicago Reader
Alfred Hitchcock's fluffy 1955 exercise in light comedy, minimal mystery, and good-natured eroticism (the fireworks scene is a classic). - 75
TV Guide Magazine
Cary Grant is at his most suave and Grace Kelly is stunningly beautiful in To Catch a Thief, a bubbly and effervescent Alfred Hitchcock romantic-suspenser that finds the Master in a relaxed and purely entertaining mood. - 75
Slant Magazine
Hitchcock and screenwriter John Michael Hayes posited voyeuristic spectacle as the essence of cinema in Rear Window; in To Catch a Thief they validate their thesis with plenty of spectacle to be voyeuristic over. - 70
The New York Times
To Catch a Thief does nothing but give out a good, exciting time.
