This is the nicest card in the set, featuring wonderful portraits of Cary Grant and Grace Kelly.


This is one of Alfred Hitchcock's highly praised thrillers. This film makes spectacular use of its Riviera setting, car chases along perilous winding roads, and romantic pauses along the glittering Mediterranean coast, creating an effect that is both glamorous and suspenseful. The film pairs two of Hitchcock's preferred actors, Grace Kelly and Cary Grant.
