An ex-thief must clear his name in this touristy if somewhat middling Hitchcock film set in Southern France, but the scenery is amazing to look at, and the flirtatious energy between Cary Grant and Grace Kelly imbues it with mild erotic tension.   

An exercise in suspense filmmaking from the Master, though it lacks narrative drive that leads to little payoff.

This is one of Hitchcock’s crowning achievements where he perfected the picaresque pursuit as a flat-out entertainer.

A stylistic and narrativistic departure for Hitchcock that is anchored by solid performances by Henry Fonda and Vera Miles.

An underrated, light-hearted if sometimes peculiar comedic farce by Hitchcock.

My personal favourite of all of Hitchcock’s works, this intelligent and suspenseful treatment on scopophilia and scopophobia in relation to gender, gaze theory and paranoia is also one of his finest achievements.
