Watch The Trouble with Harry For Free

The Worst Film Ever

Simply Perfect

best movie i've ever seen.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Let me explain the title before the review. Weekend at Bernie's was a 1989 comedy involving two low end employees who inherit the care of their dead boss. The two panic stricken guys try to give the illusion of keeping him alive from the real killers. That ruse took a whole weekend. The Trouble With Harry, a delightful dark comedy only took one entire autumn day. Opening scenes show the breathtaking landscape of Northern New England beautifully photographed. The long-lived Captain Albert Wiles (Edmund Gwenn) is spending his mornings in the picturesque hills of Vermont's Green Mountains hunting for rabbits. Next the Captain fires three shots and comes to a clearing hoping for game. To his horror he sees a well dressed man lifeless on the ground. A few moments later little Arnie Rogers (Jerry Mathers) walks up the body, examines it and continues walking on then runs off. We presume little Arnie will tell his Mother. Hiding off to the side, Captain Wiles wants to move the corpse but others stumble upon the body. Even the bespectacled, nerdy Dr. Greenbow trips over the body as Captain Wiles quips," Couldn't have had more people here if I'd sold tickets." The Captain continues on, "Next thing you know they'll be televising the whole thing." One person who sees the Captain at the scene is spinster Ivy Gravely (Mildred Natwick) who vows to keep his unfortunate secret. The Captain meets with Jennifer Rogers (Shirley MacLaine) coincidentally the widow of Harry who doesn't seem to care he's dead. Another person who gets involved with Harry is struggling Artist Sam Marlowe (John Forsythe) as Captain Wiles tells the whole events how he killed this man strictly by accident in detail. This accidental death brings our four quirky down to earth characters together. These four will spend much of the movie determining what to do with Harry or what's left of him. Just get a pair of gloves and two good shovels and start digging. The film is shot in glorious color. Hitchcock captures the Vermont countryside with the fall foliage in full bloom. The chemistry between the actors was so natural as Forsthye was the man of reason behind this wild escapade of hiding a dead body in this innocent looking New England village. I didn't realize that this was Shirley MacLaine's first movie role. Love the comedic dialogue with MacLaine's cadence against Captain Wiles with his hilarious comebacks as Jennifer's says, "I've never been to a homemade funeral before." The elderly Captain Wiles replies, I have...It's my third, All in one day." Speaking of funerals, This was Gwenn's second to last film before he passed at the age of 81. Just a delightful comedy over a grave situation as our four discover that it "Aint over till it's over."

A rather droll and mild English stage play brought to the screen by Hitchcock. It's a lot like Capra's "Arsenic and Old Lace" in that it draws you in the longer you watch it. A mild film by it's director's standards. The "Trouble" with Harry is that he's dead, and he tends to show up in the most inconvenient places after being moved about several times, to hide him from the Sheriff. There is also quite a bit of discussion as to how and why he died. Maybe it wasn't murder after all? A charmer, beautifully filmed in VistaVision and Technicolor, in Vermont. Some might consider it too slow or even plot-less, but it retains that special Hitchcock sense of dry humor, and it is a love story! Like many other great and classic films, it was originally a box-office failure. Look for Jerry Mathers (Leave it to Beaver) as Shirley's little boy!

The trouble with Harry is woven around a dead body( of harry) which is found in woods by a wandering kid,then by an old man who is shooting around rabbits,and consequently by few more people. They all have a different way of their own of responding, concluding and acting. They end up digging in and digging out the body thrice and at the end leave the body at the same spot, the very next day.and the caption comes "the trouble with harry is over".frankly i watched TTWH twice, first time i could bear it only for 5 minutes and deleted it. today I again downloaded it by accident after two years, the moment it started i got the flashbacks of this movie,but i decided to watch it ,thinking hitchcock would surprise me in the end like always. after watching rope,strangers on train,psycho,vertigo,dial m for murder etc etc i was a die hard fan of hitchcock, but this movie is a colossal waste of time,a torture, a blot on cinema ,a shameless ridiculing the feelings of us,a sheer trash. i beg you plz plz plz..do not watch it..!!!never..ever..ever..!!the worst creation of hitchcock..!!!

Captain Wiles (Edmund Gwenn) is out shooting rabbits and finds a well dressed Harry Worp shot dead. He figures that he accidentally killed her and tries to hide the body. Harry's estranged wife Jennifer Rogers (Shirley MacLaine) is brought to the body by her son Arnie and she's glad he's dead. She thinks that she killed Harry as well as spinster Ivy Gravely (Mildred Natwick). Artist Sam Marlowe comes along and tries to help Captain Wiles and the others as they try to hide the situation from Deputy Sheriff Calvin Wiggs (Royal Dano).It's a black comedy from Hitchcock except I found none of it that funny. The situations are quirky but the characters aren't particularly comical. The start is rather boring with the constant stream of odd characters. It seems to be trying way too hard especially with the guy reading the book or the tramp who takes the shoes. It's bad slapstick or bad something. The story gets even more boring with all the talking. My eyes glazed over and I don't recall half of Jennifer's story. None of the characters truly interested me. The multiple burials and reburials are almost funny. That's the best I can say about the movie.
