To Catch a Thief is said to be comparable to North by Northwest in its wit and that could not be further from the truth. North by Northwest cemented it atop my list of Hitchcock films due in large part to its wit while To Catch a Thief cemented itself at the bottom of my list due to its wit working as rarely as the story itself.

To Catch a Thief is pretty to look at, but its story is only moderately entertaining. North by Northwest beats it handily.
