Alfred Hitchock outdid himself with this classy and classic story of love and intrigue. Cary Grant stars as John Robie, a former thief who is now accused of stealing valuable jewels on the French Riviera. Grace Kelly is a spoiled heiress who sees a little game in trying to entice Robie into stealing her own jewels. But Robie is still in retirement, to the chagrin of the insurance company. Now with no suspect to hang the burglaries on together they devise a plot to flesh out the real burglar and thereby clear Robie's name once and for all.

The cool beauty of Kelly and the dark and charming manner of Grant combine to make this a top notch story. Add in the beautiful landscape of the French Riviera and a dash of Hitchcock magic and you have a delightful movie that has remained a classic for over 50 years.

The DVD contains features with Hitchcock's daughter and granddaughter as they look at the movie and the career of Alfred Hitchcock, while providing insight to the man who is only seen on camera for a brief second in each of his films. The movie was shot on location in the Riviera as well as back at the Paramount lot. And it was filmed in the new VistaVision technique, which at times caused problems for the filmmakers when they were filming close-ups. There is also a look back at Alfred Hitchcock's life, career and this film. And a feature on costume designer Edith Head looks at her career from the very beginning up to the time she was considered "the" designer to Hollywood.
