To Catch a Thief (DVD, 2002)

A classic Cary Grant film directed by none other than the master filmaker Alfred Hitchcock. Those that remember the old days when films were about acting and not about special effects & CGI. Those that have not seen it will be sure to enjoy it for the first time. Those that have seen it will enjoy it again. I bought it because (A) i collect classic films and I have always enjoyed Cary Grant films (Father Goose is my favorite) (B) It is always sure to be a good film, no matter what mood you are in. The only thing i did not like about it is something i do not like about alot of films. There has and always will be times that stars miss a mark or flub a line. Most that do are good natured about it and "ham it up" for the most part. These outtakes are sometimes the best part about a film. In the old days, I am sure the studios were concerned about protecting the image of the stars and there fore made the choice to not keep these outtakes and instead sent them to the trash or to be shredded. These days however, it seems to be more about a budget than protecting the image of a star. Either way this movie is worth buying for one simple fact. The movie is good to watch and is always entertaining.
