'T'HE gala event of the cinema -*■ season of 1955 was held on Monday, October 31st, 1955, at the Odeon, Leicester Square, graced by the presence of H.M. the Queen and her consort the Duke of Edinburgh. The film chosen for this event was Paramount’s To Catch a Thief, based on a novel by David Dodge, described by its director Alfred Hitchcock as a " purely entertainment film with elegant people ” and by the press as a “ witty, light-hearted thriller." It is set on the French Riviera and stars Cary Grant and Grace Kelly. It is filmed in Technicolor and VistaVision, Paramount’s clear wide-screen projection system. This occasion completed a decade of Royal Film Per- formances, held in aid of the Cinematograph Trade Benevolent Fund and which provides this very worthwhile society with its biggest source of annual income.
