CGiii Comment

The Quiche Lorraine...will make you scream.

Apologies...Maestro Hitchcock, but this is predictable crap.

A slither of intelligence enables anyone to guess the outcome.

It comes over as a comedy - not a good one and not the intention.

Even Hitchcock could screw things up [at times]...

The(ir) Blurb...

American expatriate John Robie, living in high style on the Riviera, is a retired cat burglar. He must find out who a copycat is to keep a new wave of jewel thefts from being pinned on him. High on the list of prime victims is Jessie Stevens, in Europe to help daughter Frances find a suitable husband. The Lloyds of London insurance agent is using a thief to catch a thief. Take an especially close look at scene where Robie gets Jessie's attention, dropping an expensive casino chip down the décolletage of a French roulette player.
