Gala Screening: To Catch a Thief

Director
Alfred Hitchcock
Certificate
PG
Running Time
106 mins

It’s certainly not the best of Alfred Hitchcock‘s four collaborations with Bristol’s own Cary Grant, but this 1955 romcom thriller is suitably breezy and glamorous for a gala screening to conclude the Cary Grant Comes Home for the Weekend festival. Our boy plays a reformed French Riviera jewel thief known at The Cat, who sets out to catch his imitator, thereby proving his innocence, with a little help from rich American girl Grace Kelly. Watch how much fun Hitch has intercutting foreplay and fireworks before this became a cliche.

Your ticket price also gets you bubbly on arrival, live music, themed cocktails and vintage fashions. Should you be inclined to raid the dressing-up box, there are prizes for the best costumes. Go here for tickets.
