Alfred HItchcock often filmed his movies in famous locations and settings using The US Open Tennis match for Two Men on a Train and Mt Rushmore for North by Northwest. To Catch a Thief is set in Monaco when most Americans knew little about such spots. This is where Grace Kelly met Prince Ranier which led to the real world marriage.
If you are looking for interesting fare that the family could actually watch, this is one to see. And certainly Cary Grant and Grace Kelly define the term Movie Star! in these roles. Robert Wagner based his successful tv series on this movie. Filmed on location this is an interesting look at Europe in 1955.
A true classic, Amazon shows multiple re issues of this movie in DVD form.
CAtch it tonite on TCM.
