Review title: Cheaply manufactured DVD is a rip-off !
Product review: For filmlovers, there is only one important issue when it comes to discussing a first time DVD reissue of a cinema classic: does it fullfill their hope of seeing the movie with markedly superior visual and audio characteristics. The answer in this case, sadly, is NO! This DVD issue of "To Catch a Thief" has NOT been restored, and is in no better than the washed out VHS version.This is particularly regretable here, as this lightweight but irresitibly sweet and charming Hitchcock romp (which was awarded an Academy Award for best cinephotography,) relies heavily for its appeal on breathtaking visuals; ie., the spectacular aerial shots of the famous coastline of the French Riviera, the fire-works scene, the opulent costume ball, etc..My one star rating then is for the poor quality of the DVD, not of course for this much-loved film, which represents the highest possible level of light entertainment.
