The Trouble With Harry (1958)

The trouble with Harry, is that Harry is dead, and most people seem to take responsibility for killing him and nobody really knows what to do with him.
A curious little film from Hitchcock. Devoid of (at the time) stars and many of his characteristic traits Hitchcock just seems to be having fun with himself as he makes a cosy farce about a dead body. Not that this is bad. On the contrary this is a highly enjoyable, and oftn very funny, comedy with its bad taste planted firmly in its cheek. It's a shame that they were forced to do so much studio (or gymnasium as it turned out) work as the New England location footgae is truly sumptious. Great fun.
