FILM FORUM CORONADO: “To Catch a Thief”

Coronado Public Library, in partnership with the Coronado Island Film Festival, presents FILM FORUM CORONADO, taking place the first and third Wednesday of each month at 6:00 p.m. in the library’s Winn Room. Film expert Ralph DeLauro provides a brief introduction to each film and leads a discussion afterwards, often including pointers about how lighting or camera angles contribute to a scene’s mood or propel the story.

April 16: To Catch a Thief (1955, PG, 106 min)

70th Anniversary. Alfred Hitchcock packs along his obsessions in this cheeky diversion shot on the French Riviera. A chilly American socialite (Grace Kelly) tests a reformed jewel thief (Cary Grant) to see if “the cat” still prowls. Academy Award winner for Best Color Cinematography.
