The film To Catch a Thief, starring Cary Grant and Grace Kelly, is a suspense-thriller about an ex-jewel thief accused of committing crimes parallel to his work in the past. In the film, the main characters John Robie (Cary Grant) and Frances Stevens (Grace Kelly) were illustrated to be very different from each other. Despite John’s innocence, he was depicted to suspicious and introverted, yet all the while is quite confident.
