The Trouble With Harry (DVD) ... DVD released 21 April, 2003 at Universal Pictures UK / Features of the DVD: PAL / The Trouble with Harry is a lark, the mischievous side of Hitchcock given free reign. A busman's holiday for Alfred Hitchcock, this 1955 black comedy concerns a pesky corpse that becomes a problem for a quiet, Vermont neighbourhood. Shirley MacLaine makes her film debut as one of several characters who keep burying the body and finding it unburied again. Hitchcock clearly enjoys conjuring the autumnal look and feel of the story, and he establishes an important, first-time alliance with composer Bernard Herrmann, whose music proved vital to the director's next half-dozen or so films. --Tom Keogh, Amazon.com

 ... Hitchcock films and you can see why many in the audience would be surprised if they were expecting the usual fare for the master of suspense but the films still has that Hitchcock stamp on it and is worthy of the great filmmaker. Apart from the fact that it is a comedy unusual for Hitchcock it is also notable for other reasons. It was the first major film role for Shirley McClaine and it was the first time Hitchcock collaborated with composer Bernard Herrmann who went on to score North By North West and Psycho. The...more

The trouble with Harry is not your usual Hitchcock film for a start it's a comedy, a dark comedy but a comedy nonetheless.

"It had to end somewhere. One man can only do so much." This was how the conversation with my partner started. It was not about me! I'm a superman and I can do anything! The man we were talking about was the handsome new Bond, Mr Daniel Craig. For the past few months we had watched his entire back catalogue and I still don't understand why she kept renting his films? Anyway, a new man must be found, someone that I could compete with physically. It was then that I stumbled across just the chap - he's just like me! Number of chins? 2+ - check. Wobbly belly? - check. An absence of hair? - check. Perfect! Alfred Hitchcock it is, a man you can be proud ...  Read the complete review
