Directed by Alfred Hitchcock.
By all accounts costume designer Edith Head’s favorite project, this story of a reformed jewel thief implicated in a series of robberies on the French Riviera afforded ample opportunity for “costume-as-dialogue,” as wealthy socialite Grace Kelly pursues glamorous, reformed, jewel thief Cary Grant. Masquerading, flirting, concealing and revealing make up the very vernacular of this stylish romp.
