To Catch a Thief by Hitchcock 1955 - Cary Grant / Grace Kelly

This film really highlights what I like the most about Hitchcock films - there's lots of lots of subtle social criticism and observations through his films that are somewhat peripheral to the plot but fit into the plot nonetheless.

For instance I enjoyed the Cary Grant character's veiled attack against the insurance industry - calling it a collection of gamblers. The fact that many of the characters in the film fought in the recent world war is referenced a great deal as well and the characters themselves seem ambivalent as to whether they were heroes or butchers.

A restaurateur states, at one point, that he runs his kitchen the way he ran his resistance unit during the war and that the processes are similar - cutting, chopping, killing...

So the backgrounds of Hitchcock films are very rich with thought-provoking elements.

The problem with this version of the film I am putting here is that there is a commercial every 8 minutes. You can cancel the commercial after 5 seconds, however.
