A Suspicious Bandit and an Inquisitive Beauty Alfred Hitchcock was a brilliant director of the mid-twentieth century directing very famous films such as Psycho (1960), Rear Window (1954), and To Catch a Thief (1955). The film To Catch a Thief, starring Cary Grant and Grace Kelly, is a suspense-thriller about an ex-jewel thief accused of committing crimes parallel to his work in the past. In the film, the main characters John Robie (Cary Grant) and Frances Stevens (Grace Kelly) were illustrated to be very different from each other. Despite John’s innocence, he was depicted to suspicious and introverted, yet all the while is quite confident. Frances was depicted to be about money, beauty, and sex appeal, yet underneath is inquisitive and nonmaterialistic. The depiction of John Robie and Frances Stevens in the film To Catch a Thief can be accredited to three elements of mise-en-scene, costume and makeup, sets and props, and figure expression and movement. In film, part of cinematic style is the elements of mise-en-scene. A key part of…

In North by Northwest, Hitchcock utilizes a blend of these two types of portrayal to tell what a generally complex…
work with. (94) Hitchcock often suggested the settings that he wished Hayes would include in the screenplay, including a car chase along the Grand Corniche and a glamourous costume ball (96). Dated March 23, 1954, Hayes’ first draft was a 212-page script that was divided into into 651 shots and preserved the structural elements of the his and Hitchcock’s outline. Due to censorship regarding the “unacceptable,” sexually-charged evening fireworks scene between Robie and Francie, Hayes had to…
As a young girl, I spent the vast majority of my time sequestered in my room with my dolls. They helped me to escape my reality. They listened to me without judgement and gave voice to the conversations that I desperately wanted to have but could not. I remember vividly wanting a Barbie that had brown hair and green eyes. I wanted a doll that represented me, one that looked like me or at least seemed like the person I wanted to grow up to be. I don’t remember my age when I saw my first…
