Description

To Catch a Thief (Paramount, 1955). Fine on Linen. Half Sheet (22" X 28") Style A.
Set against the sun-drenched elegance of the French Riviera, Alfred Hitchcock's To Catch a Thief blends romance, wit, and suspense in one of his most visually sumptuous films, earning an Academy Award for cinematographer Robert Burks. Cary Grant stars as John Robie, a reformed jewel thief drawn out of a quiet retirement when a string of copycat crimes threatens to destroy his hard-won peace. As he hunts for the true culprit among the resort's glittering elite, he becomes entangled with the captivating Frances Stevens, played by Grace Kelly in one of her most enchanting roles. Their onscreen chemistry crackles with sophistication and allure, elevating this stylish thriller into one of Hitchcock's most beloved and refined romances. The borders have been heavily airbrushed and touchup has been applied sporadically throughout the interior to address edge wear, pinholes, significant creases, tears, and some stains. Touchup has also been further applied to Cary Grant and Grace Kelly's credits. Light scuffs/scratches remain visible and the linen has been trimmed to the borders.
