To Catch
A Thief (1955)
In Alfred Hitchcock's lightweight suspense thriller
set on the French Riviera:
- the opening police chase of cat burglar Robie (Cary
Grant) photographed from the air
- the seductive kiss offered by beautiful Frances (Grace
Kelly) to Robie at her hotel room door
- the drive and lunch-basket picnic scene with Frances'
teasing question of Robie: "Do you want a leg or a breast?"
- the exploding, orgasmic fireworks display occurring
as white-gowned Frances seductively discussed the jewels around her
neck before a kiss in the dark
- the breakfast scene in which Frances' mother (Jessie
Royce Landis) stubbed out her lighted cigarette in a fried egg yolk
- the final costume ball sequence
