While parts of the movie were entertaining, I was not entertained by the resolution. With that being said, there's not too many chances to see Grace Kelly on screen, and I would recommend this movie for her alone.
With respect to Cary Grant, I've only otherwise seen him in His Girl Friday (1940) and I liked him in that movie more.

Netflix rated this film for me at 4.5. I gave it a 4.

1b: "She looks a lot older up close."
1b: She lets the "Cat" out of the bag. "Yes, police following you, John Robie the Cat."
1b: "You know well as I do this necklace is imitation." "Well I'm not."
