This movie has so much to offer! I loved the scenery and was not surprised to find out that this movie won an Oscar for Best Cinematography. This was one of Paramounts first attempts at shooting a film in VistaVision, and the color was great. All the scenery in France was amazing. They did do half of the filming in Paramount's CA studio, but all the outdoor stuff was in France.
This movie deserves 3 stars even if the actors never muttered a word- the fact that Hitchcock teamed up with Cary Grant and Grace Kelly.....and filmed the movie in France! What I loved about Kelly's role is she was spunky, and hard nosed. She plays a tough girl and it fits her style well. She is absolutely magnificent in the movie and mesmerizing to look at. Everything she wore was beautiful. The first time she kisses Grant in the movie has to be one of the top 10 kisses of all time in Hollywood, it is just perfect. I wish she would have made more movies.
This movie gets 4 stars from me, not quite a 5 star movie. the script is too predictable. I wanted more surprises at the end. Cary Grant makes everything seem so easy and smooth- all of his lines in every movie he is in are articulated perfectly. He really was a movie star. Well done Grant, Kelly & Hitchcock. I absolutely recommend this movie.

I forgot to mention that I was excited to see John Williams play a role in this movie, I liked him in Dial M for Murder.
