Cary Grant suaves his way around the Riviera as a retired cat burglar blackmailed into tracking down an up-and-coming heist person who has been framing him for a new rash of daring crimes. A glossy, highly-coloured cosmopolitan entertainment with Grant at his most charming and Grace Kelly at her least restrained, offering the thief a choice between leg or breast as they have a cold chicken picnic.
However, unusually for an Alfred Hitchcock movie, the finale wimps out by having Kelly not turn out to be the rival thief and thus defusing the Marnie-like perverse aspects of the love story.
