Alfred Hitchcock’s To Catch A Thief is making its 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray debut in the UK this autumn – more details here.
Here’s a very welcome treat for collectors of the 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray format. The 1955 Alfred Hitchcock thriller To Catch A Thief will be arriving on the format for the very first time this autumn, and in a rather spanking looking set.
The movie – which is liberally doused with romance – sees Grace Kelly and Cary Grant, a string of burglaries and a whole lot of fun. Because it’s Alfred Hitchcock and nearly 70 years old, To Catch A Thief is now filed as a posh slice of cinema, and perhaps it is. But just like something such as North By Northwest (which is due on 4K disc later this year too), this is a tremendous amount of fun, a blockbuster movie in vintage clothes.
Paramount holds the home entertainment rights to the film, and has rustled up a two disc set in special collectors edition. It includes five art cards, a sign, a desk note, a rigid slipcase and a couple of posters, on top of a 4K disc and a Blu-ray. There’s a strong-looking selection of extra features included as well.
To Catch A Thief on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray is released on 14th October 2024 in the UK. You can find more information on the release, and order yourself a copy, right here.
If you’re unfamiliar with the film, then we’ll leave you for now with its synopsis. Do consider giving the movie a watch if you’ve never had the pleasure, though…
For the first time in 4K Ultra-HD, Alfred Hitchcock’s essential TO CATCH A THIEF comes with expanded special features and incredible HDR-10 and Dolby Vision. Cary Grant plays John Robie, a reformed jewel thief once known as “The Cat.” When he is suspected of new gem thefts in the luxury hotels of the French Riviera, Robie sees a plot to clear himself after meeting pampered heiress Frances (Grace Kelly). Romantic sparks fly as the suspense builds in this essential VistaVision classic, which nabbed an Oscar® for Best Cinematography, Colour (1955).
