    Status report, "Movie Afternoon While Cooking (Refried beans from scratch)": Watching Hitchcock's TO CATCH A THIEF. Lovely piece of work with fab costuming. Also, CARY GRANT ffs. 😅 ...Meanwhile, beans stew slowly in lard. LOTS OF LARD. I can't have onions or garlic now, but chiles? Herbs? YEAH. 😋

    Hitchcock had a run like few others - from Dial M for Murder in '53 to North by Northwest in '59, every film was an instant classic Dial M for Murder Rear Window To Catch a Thief The Trouble with Harry The Man Who Knew Too Much The Wrong Man Vertigo North by Northwest That's one hell of a streak.

    Spent an hour figuring out what movie is reflected in the big plate window in the opening of To Catch a Thief. Not a movie, but the Yiddish revue "Bagels and Yox." Now to figure out which revival it is. Original Bwy closed in 1952; LA in 1953; TCaT shot in 1954–55.

    TOKYO EXPRESS is a near-perfect mystery, BEFORE THE FACT a chilling suspense novel, TO CATCH A THIEF is just as fun as the film, the Mary Fortune collection a necessary early classic, and I’m so glad the Aud Torvingen trilogy can reach a new generation of crime fiction readers.

    #filmsky Was Hitchcock ever more stylishly playful than in giving us Cary Grant as a sneaky cat burglar and Grace Kelly as a rich babe? To Catch A Thief (out today, 1955) sets its tale among the French Riviera, giving us the perfect summer movie of romance and suspense. Love Grace’s driving too 😂.
