Paramount has released a UHD SteelBook packaging variant for Alfred Hitchcock's 1955 film 'To Catch a Thief,' starring Cary Grant and Grace Kelly. The film was previously released to the UHD format last year as part of the prestigious 'Paramount Presents' line of releases (it was also released a few times prior on Blu-ray, notably the original 2012 Blu-ray and the Blu- ray version of the 'Paramount Presents' issue in 2020). This is a packaging-only upgrade; the included disc is identical to last year's UHD issue. Like the previous UHD, no Blu-ray is included, but Paramount has once again bundled in a digital copy code.

For a full UHD audio review, please click here. Note that this link points to the original 2012 Blu-ray release; Paramount has simply included that same Dolby TrueHD 5.1 lossless soundtrack here.

For the front cover of this SteelBook, Paramount has selected an original promotional image featuring Cary Grant's John Robie on the left and Grace
Kelly's Frances Stevens on the right, close enough to kiss. Their names, as well as the film's title, appear top center, beige and white respectively,
against a dark blue backdrop. Below is a stream of light illuminating a figure in silhouette. The rear panel is black on the bottom, night blue on the top,
with a straight diagonal split. A cat and a human with arms outstretched appear in silhouette. The spine is a dark blue color with the film's title in
white, center, and a white Paramount logo at the top.
Inside, the digital copy code is tucked underneath the left-hand-side tabs. The lone UHD disc is situated on the right on a central hub. The inner print is
a two-panel spread that features a classic still depicting Cary Grant's John Robie on the left and Grace Kelly's Frances Stevens on the right, shaking
hands in front of an exotic locale.

Fans of classic cinema will love the throwback stylings of this attractive SteelBook. Of course, the film inside is a classic and the UHD is solid, too. Highly recommended!
