Hitchcock on the Riviera submitted by Eahagen on June 24, 2015, 1:40pm This film is visually stunning, shot in "Vistavision" on the French Riviera. It stars the ever-charming Cary Grant as The Cat, a retired jewelry thief, who is know accused of a crime he didn't commit. In classic Hitchcock style the mystery plays out with heightened suspense and a little romance. We are waiting to discover the identity of the real cat burglar, but are quickly distracted by the blooming screen relationship between Cary Grant and Grace Kelly. If you like Hitchcock's 'North By Northwest' - you're sure to like this too!
