Romance and suspense. Grace Kelly and Cary Grant. To Catch a Thief should definitely be part on any Alfred Hitchcock film festival.
You do my murder and I'll do yours. Would that be the perfect crime? Strangers on a Train is a taut thriller.
Maybe you saw A Perfect Murder. Erase that memory from your brain and watch the original Dial M for Murder.
