John 'The Cat' Robie (Cary Grant) is a retired cat-burglar, and he is quite enjoying his new life of leisure on the Riviera when a string of jewel robberies executed in his signature style make him the main suspect in the police investigation. In order to clear his name, Robie sets out to find the real thief and, in the process, finds the burglar's likely next victim, a wealthy American (Grace Kelly) whose affections are more difficult to ensnare than her jewels.

Cary Grant is the epitome of debonair--a style icon--and Grace Kelly's beauty is legendary. The film was awarded the Oscar for best color cinematography at the 1956 Academy Awards.
