To Catch a Thief is a romantic thriller film from 1955.
  Chase films were limited in scope, but their emphasis on the chase sequence would extended into film in the future such as On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969), Vanishing Point (1971), and Speed (1994)
 These detective films often overlapped with film noir, which arose in the mid-1940s and was coined by French critics in 1946
