  Delightful Hokum
  
  The story may not be totally believable but the film is a pleasure.
  
  The acting is good but the storyline is hardly credible. No matter..

  More of a romantic comedy than a suspense.

  To Catch A Thief
  
  A very enjoyable film, but what a pity it was cut. It missed out a complete scene from the original.

  Not a Gem
  
  Sometimes films are remembered because they are really great, timeless, etc. This one is alright but not that good. A touch predictable even. Never mind.
