To Catch a Thief (1955)

Grace Kelly, Cary Grant, Jesse Royce Landis, John Williams

Directed by Alfred Hitchock

Available to stream on Amazon Prime

Mix up a refreshing Tom Collins and travel to the Mediterranean with glamorous Grace Kelly and dashing Cary Grant in this classic about a beautiful American heiress who meets a reformed cat burglar on the 1950's French Riviera.

Why we love it: Gorgeous Grace Kelly, gorgeous Cary Grant, gorgeous Mediterranean scenery - what more do you need??

This is one of Alfred Hitchcock's lighter and more comedic films, though it still has some mystery and suspense. The solving of the mystery is a bit of a let-down, but the very last scene with Grace and Cary is a classic. Watch this movie again and again on the biggest TV you have so you can enjoy the gorgeous scenery and the stars' glamorous wardrobes.

Interesting Facts:

• Grace Kelly met her future husband, Prince Rainier, while shooting this film.

• The reckless drive she takes with Cary in the car is on the same road where she died in 1982 in the car with her daughter Princess Stephanie.

Though not featured specifically in this film, the Tom Collins was a popular American drink in 1955.

15 ml (1 Tbsp) fresh lemon juice

15 ml (1 Tbsp) sugar syrup

60 ml (2 oz) gin

150-180 ml (5-6 oz) club soda

To make it a mocktail, just leave out the gin!
