The Trouble with Harry (1955) - Alfred Hitchcock Movie Review

Today marks my first foray into the catalogue of The Master of Suspense, who just so happens to be a master of comedy as well! Join me as I dig up the dirt on this classic film, and then rebury it, then dig it up...you get the idea.

Starring Edmund Gwenn, John Forsythe, Mildred Natwick, Shirley MacLaine and Jerry Mathers

It's nice to see this charming, often over-looked movie, getting some well deserved love. I couldn't agree with your analysis more. Wonderful cast, great script, beautifully shot, and loaded with dark humor. I would love to see more Hitchcock reviews, especially for the more neglected movies, Family Plot, Frenzy, Spellbound, and Foreign Correspondent just to name a few. There are so many gems waiting to be appreciated.

A well deserved (and well delivered) appreciation of this somewhat forgotten little gem of a movie. If another director had made it, it would be counted as as one of his best. That's the "Trouble with Alfred": too many masterpieces.

So glad I found this channel....going to watch all your videos

"The Trouble with Harry" was one of my Dad's favorite films. Dad and Alfred Hitchcock, and Fidel Castro, shared a common birthday, August 13th.
Thank you for reminding me of my Dad's laughter; I love this movie.

Good review of a fun movie. Now I want to watch it again and pay attention to the music, and also count all the "feet" shots, haha.

This was the movie that made me fall in love with Shirley MacLaine.

I enjoyed your review. Thank you. I thought I had seen "The Trouble with Harry" before, but I don't really remember it, so I'm not sure. It would have been a long time ago if I did. In any event, I'd like to see it. It looks like it is available on YouTube, so I will watch it. 😀

A bit blurry today, but great review! I’m a huge Hitchcock fan, and that movie is one of my favourites. 🌺🌺🇨🇦
