Grace Kelly is remembered not only as one of the leading Hollywood actresses of the 1950s, but also as a style icon both on and off screen. In To Catch a Thief, her last film for Alfred Hitchcock, Kelly dons a knockout wardrobe courtesy of Paramount Pictures’ legendary costume designer, Edith Head. Whether wearing Capri pants or elegant ball gowns, Kelly’s style and fashion influence are wholly reflected in this film.

When a series of jewel robberies begin to take place in the area, Robie is the natural suspect. Starring Cary Grant and Grace Kelly. Directed by Alfred Hitchcock, 1955. 106 minutes. 35mm. Not Rated.
