Alfred Hitchcock's Dark Comedy

The Trouble with Harry is a little off the beaten trail when it comes to Alfred Hitchcock movies. What it lacks in suspense, it makes it for in dark humor and a very interesting story line.

The movie starts out in a small New England town, which is very quaint and pretty. A dead body shows up in the woods just outside of town and turns the lives of several residents upside down.
First, you have Captain Albert Wiles, who was hunting rabbits in the woods, and thinks he may have accidentally shot Harry. Next there is the lovely Jennifer Rogers, who at one time was married to Harry. She believes she may have killed him when she hit over the head during a heated tiff. Local artist Sam Marlowe gets pulled into the scene when he discovers the body while drawing a landscape. There is also the timid spinster, Ivy Gravely, who believes she may have killed Harry while fighting him off after he attacked her.
With two men and two woman now involved, the inevitable happens, love begins to blossom. But at the same time, with so many people involved, no one can decide what to do with Harry and even when they do make a decision, they change their minds shortly after. The trouble with Harry is that he doesn't stay buried and while they try to get rid of their corpse, the town's sheriff, Calvin Wiggs is snooping around and about to find them out.

This movie stars some fine actors including Shirley McClaine and John Forsythe. Jerry Mathers of Leave It To Beaver fame also plays a part in this film.

This film is done in brilliant color and is about 100 minutes long. The DVD is shot in widescreen.
