Description

To Catch a Thief (Paramount, 1955). Fine/Very Fine on Linen. One Sheet (27.25" X 40.75").
One of Alfred Hitchcock's most visually lavish films, and recipient of the Academy Award for Best Color Cinematography, no less, To Catch a Thief marked Cary Grant's return to the screen after a brief retirement announced two years prior. Grant plays John Robie, a reformed jewel thief who has traded his criminal past for a quiet life on the sun-drenched French Riviera. But when a series of daring burglaries mimicking his signature style stirs public alarm, Robie becomes the prime suspect. To clear his name, he must re-enter the world he thought he'd left behind. Joining him in his quest is the elegant and headstrong heiress Frances Stevens, played by Grace Kelly, whose fascination with Robie's charm, and the thrill of danger, adds a spark of romance to the intrigue. With its irresistible blend of glamour, suspense, and star power, it's no surprise that this iconic one sheet remains a coveted prize at auction. Touchup to the folds throughout has addressed fold wear, creases, fold/crossfold separation, small tears, and small chips. Some flaws may remain lightly visible.
