Since it is about to be Halloween and Edith Head's Birthday has just passed .. I thought how marvelous it would be to mix the 2 together. Since she did work some time for Paramount and did many Alfred Hitchcock pictures .. I think it is just what this blog needed this week ...
Since my boyfriend and I are not fond of scary movies .. having sensitive constitutions and all .. we tried to keep this Halloween a bit on the mellow side .. There are much more scarier films that Alfred Hitchcock has made such as.. lets say.. "Psycho" .. but we decided to go for " To Catch a Thief " instead..
Its a romantic thriller .. key word here is Thriller :) that is set in the beautiful French Riviera , Monaco .. John Robie played by Cary Grant is a well known but retired jewel thief who is believed to be a part of a series a robberies that closely resembles his particular style .. police comes to arrest him but luckily he escapes and tries to uncover who the real burglar is .. He immediately seeks help from his old friends during the days of the French resistance .. They were ex cons who by working as patriots let them be on parole .. Grace Kelly Comes in to the story of portraying a heiress who in particular as Jewels worth stealing .. Can we smell a beautiful love affair waiting to happen?
If those of you who are reading my blog haven't watched this film .. I do not want to give anything away ..
but if I haven't tempted you .. perhaps some of these pictures might ..
Here are several of Edith Head's design sketches for the film:
