Amazon.com video review:
This minor 1955 work by Alfred Hitchcock, one of the lighter
entries of his creative peak in the 1950s, is still imbued with the
master's stock themes of shared guilt and romantic ambivalence. It is
also hardly lacking in Hitchcockian cinematic inventiveness, such as a
famous, often-imitated sequence in which some smooching between stars
Cary Grant and Grace Kelly is intercut with a fireworks show that just
happens to be going on outside in a Riviera setting. Grant plays a
reformed cat burglar who is suspected of reviving his trade, though he
knows someone else is using his old methods. A very enjoyable
experience, but don't get this confused with Hitchcock's other Cary
Grant film of that decade, which was a masterpiece: North by
Northwest. --Tom Keogh
