To Catch a Thief: Difference between revisions

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: John Robie.

* [[Defrosting Ice Queen]]: Francie at first appears cold and reserved, but we see that this is just an act, when she unexpectedly kisses John.

* [[Playing Against Type|Directing Against Type]]: The movie is markedly different from Hitchcock's usual style.

* [[Double Entendre]]: The dialogue between John and Francie is full of these. For example:

'''Francie:''' ''(before watching the fireworks)'' I have a feeling that tonight, you're going to see one of the Riviera's most fascinating sights... I was talking about the fireworks.<br />

'''John:''' I never doubted it. }}

* [[Gentleman Thief]]: John Robie.

* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: Francie is furious at Robie who she believes stole her mother's jewels. Her mother asks her "What did he steal from you, anyway?". {{spoiler|Robie and Francie just had sex}}.

* [[Save the Villain]]: Though not completely until they give a full confession.

* [[Scenery Porn]]: The French Riviera. Hitch was known for throwing in gratuitous scenery shots for no other reason than visual pleasure, but he goes overboard here (of course this is the ''French Riviera'' we're talking about).

* [[Sexy Discretion Shot]]: Oh, those fireworks ...

** Also, the gambling chip falling into the prominent cleavage. It happens off-camera, but the camerawork makes it obvious.
