THE TROUBLE WITH HARRY

Special Features: New 4K Restoration | FREE for Silver Cinema Club members! | Intro by film historian Steven C. Smith. Smith's latest book "Hitchcock and Herrmann: The Friendship and Film Scores that Changed Cinema" will be available for sale and signing.

Bernard Herrmann’s whimsical score — his first of many memorable ones for Alfred Hitchcock — greatly enlivens this comedy about an inconvenient corpse. The trouble with Harry is that he has turned up dead in the woods, and there is no shortage of kindly, eccentric residents of the nearby village willing to confess to accidentally killing him. Shirley MacLaine is spritely and delightful in her screen debut, her casting a last-minute snap decision by Hitchcock. The wonderfully wry cast includes Jerry Mathers as her son, Edmund Gwenn as a retired sea captain, Mildred Natwick as the spinster he is sweet on and John Forsythe as a boho painter. DIR Alfred Hitchcock; SCR John Michael Hayes, from the novel by Jack Trevor Story. U.S., 1955, color, 99 min. RATED PG
