The mischief and whimsy begin with the titles, laid against a simplistic children’s sketch. The music by Bernard Herrmann opens with dark, augural horns before letting in levity, and a back-and-forth ensues between grim suspense and infantile play — the lighter sections of the theme recall the cartoony, tongue-firmly-in-cheek title music of Alfred ...
Miss Gravely encounters him as he’s dragging Harry into the bushes — “What seems to be the trouble, Captain?” she politely inquires. The line is one of Hitchc*ck’s favorites, and the director’s fingerprints can be more readily found on this work than on many of his other, more genre-friendly outings. The Captain is one of his favorite leads, too — ...
Once, Sam muses about bringing his paintings to 5th Avenue to hock. His salesman, Mrs. Wiggs (Mildred Dunnock), says they might sell better there, if there are more people. “Oh, lots of people,” Sam replies. “Hundreds and thousands and billions of people. But what sort of people, Wiggy? What breed? I’ll tell you — they’re little people. Little peop...
So the stage is set for a classic comedic ending — surely everyone will pair off in the end, kiss and be merry. But the trick to their happiness isn’t that they wind up with people who believe their lies, but rather, everyone gets someone who sees them the way they want to be seen. After Sam haggles a litany of gifts out of a millionaire, he wins t...

He wants to confront her about the dead man in the hills slumped up against some bushes, but she’s so beautiful that he forgets what he came to ask her. Instead, he chats with her kid, gives him a pet frog ...
The Trouble With Harry is a comedy film about a dead body. Alfred Hitchcock makes the macabre concept deliciously funny and entertaining in his unique style. Helping Hitchcock to turn this unlikeliest of premises into an enjoyable film are Bernard Herrmann (providing fabulous music scoring), and a cast of winning actors who judge to perfection ...

See All 7 Critic Reviews. 7. Gamzguy17. Aug 21, 2021. Not a disappointing film by any means from the big Al, but 'Harry's' main problem is a slow pace and the plot itself which is easily one of the silliest the famed suspense director has ever tackled. Of course, that silliness is punctuated with the dark humour Hitchcock has always enjoyed ...
