True, not one of his deepest. But the award for cinematography is very deserved. This is one of his most visually intoxicating film.

The fireworks scene is still (in this increasingly unimaginative age) one of the sexiest scenes in cinema.

Hi! T.S.
Of all the films in Hitchcock oeuvres "To Catch a Thief" (1955) is one of my favorite Hitchcock's films.(along with Mr. & Mrs. Smith (a "light" comedy)(..Because I think both films are the opposite of what I (viewers) expected from him!)

"Is it an insult to call an Alfred Hitchcock movie "cute"? The word is likely not one that might jump to mind in the same sentence as the so-called Master of Suspense."

I must admit the 1955 film "To Catch a Thief" is very "light fare" from the Master of Suspense.

and I have read several books that the movie set was the most pleasant experience for everyone involved.(I think Hitch even celebrated his birthday on the set.) Yes, this is not up to par with such Hitch classics' as Strangers on a Train, Pyscho, Rear Window and Vertigo.
But at least a "good" time was had by all, by the time the final words "cut" were mentioned by Hitchcock.
