I picked this up on a whim the other day because I have fond memories of this one. Being a big Hitchcock fan helps, too, because it's not necessarily one of this top 10 movies, but Grace Kelly and Cary Grant get it pretty close. My only slight gripe with this version is that it doesn't include the Patricia Hitchcock interviews that were with the DVD release back in the day (yes, I have that one, too). But if you don't care about those, get this, sit back and enjoy.

I never really got to see this Hitchcock movies entirely. This was my chance to see it unedited and in full without distractions. It was worth the wait and glad I bought it.

I bought this movie to watch with my mother, who is in her 80s. We both enjoyed it. The acting was good, and the storyline was entertaining.

TO CATCH A THIEF was filmed in the VISTAVISION format. If you don't know, this was a format Paramount created in the 50's when movies were going widescreen and beyond, coming up with new ways to combat television. It was a format in which 35mm film was loaded sideways so it could get a larger exposure of film that could fit right in 70mm. Cleaner, sharper, more detailed and colorful images were produced.
This scan was done in 6K and should look GLORIOUS. Unfortunately, someone decided to lather this thing in digital noise reduction, so that the film never looks as detailed as it should. Not even close. While the color timing is overall closer to where it needs to be, someone decided to do a blanket "day of night deep blue" filter over all the night scenes. Hitchcock had this filmed with a green filter to help give the night scenes a unique, more steely nature to them. That is now gone.
This disc also got rid of some of the bonus materials of the earlier release. That release is far from perfect - it has edge enhancement among other things, but it's better than this.

To Catch a Thief itself as a movie is fun and very watchable. Unfortunately, this Blu-ray is not. For whatever reason, Paramount has released a disc featuring a movie slathered with digital noise removal, leaving the image smeary and lacking in detail. Additionally, the movie is oddly and seemingly incorrectly cropped, showing less image that any previous home video release. Lastly, for whatever reason, they chose to dump most of the special features found on the previous Blu-ray release, and add minimal new ones. Truly, there’s no reason to own this edition. Buy the previous Blu-ray release if you can find it- it’s not perfect, but it’s a lot better than what you’d get here.
