How it was made

To Catch a Thief was the first of five films Hitchcock shot using the VistaVision widescreen process.
Cary Grant earned more than $700,000 from his 10 percent cut of the film's gross, while Hitchcock himself received less than $50,000.
Costume designer Edith Head created Grace Kelly's gold lamé gown worn at the film's costume ball.
Unit production manager C. O. Doc Erickson, who had built a reputation on location-heavy Paramount productions like Shane and Secret of the Incas, researched the logistics of shooting across the Alpes-Maritimes resorts of Cannes, Nice, Villefranche-sur-Mer, Saint-Jeannet and Tourrettes-sur-Loup.
