    If I ran a movie theatre I'd do a week of movies featuring "Leave It to Beaver" cast members. THE BAD AND THE BEAUTIFUL, THE 7TH VICTIM, AIRPLANE!, THE MOLE PEOPLE, THE TROUBLE WITH HARRY, THE BIRDS, LADY IN CEMENT, BIGGER THAN LIFE... Could be a lot of fun.

    Hitchcock had a run like few others - from Dial M for Murder in '53 to North by Northwest in '59, every film was an instant classic Dial M for Murder Rear Window To Catch a Thief The Trouble with Harry The Man Who Knew Too Much The Wrong Man Vertigo North by Northwest That's one hell of a streak.

    I'm watching that great Hitchcock classic, "The Trouble With Harry". Such a great movie!! Have you seen it? If not, you should. The opening credits announce "Introducing Shirley MacClain" And, while it doesn't say it is introducing him, it also showcases a very young (and cute!) Jerry Mathers.

    Mildred Natwick as Nurse Braddock A character actress from the start, her career onstage and in film spanned 60 years. 1955 was a very good year, with The Trouble With Harry and The Court Jester. An Oscar nod for Barefoot in the Park (1967) and an Emmy for The Snoop Sisters (1974). #FilmNoirClub

    We are working our way through every Hitchcock movie the Chicago Public Library has on DVD, and: 1) I said "The one where they think that guy did the crime, but it's the wrong guy," to try to identify Frenzy, but that could be probably a dozen Hitchcock movies. 2) The Trouble With Harry is my fave.

    The Trouble With Harry - It's a Hitchcock film. I know Hitchcock was a total dick but he was also brilliant and the film is a real delight. It's somewhat suspenseful. More of a comedy. I highly recommend giving it a chance.

    Rear Window is an incredible film. I just love Thelma Ritter. She is an underrated actor who deserves more attention. As to the comments on other films in this thread, I’m not sure I would describe Rope as funny. If you want a funny Hitchcock film, check out The Trouble With Harry.

    One of the greatest odes to autumn ever put to film is Alfred Hitchcock's The Trouble With Harry. It's a door-slamming comedy about a murder that benefits everyone but nobody quite likes to show it. Also... whodunit?

    'The Trouble with Harry' was reportedly Hitchcock's favourite film. A bright sunlit romantic comedy about an increasingly rotten corpse. It's definitely a daytime movie, but alarmingly dark and transgressive.

    2: “The Trouble with Harry.” WHAT’S BEING HELD ON THE POSTER? The ankles of a dead body. A strange Hitchcock film where a dead body appears seemingly out of nowhere in a small New England village and the reaction of the townspeople is… very odd. Inspiration for “Weekend at Bernie’s” maybe?

    The Trouble With Harry was the first Hitchcock movie I can remember watching. I may have been around 8 years old. My love of dark humor comes from this movie. Hitch subverts his murder mystery and MacGuffin tropes here. The death happened offscreen and the MacGuffin is a corpse. #FilmSky #Movies

    22. An odd misfire right in the middle of Hitchcock’s Imperial phase “The Trouble With Harry” focuses on characters who would be bit parts adjacent to the thrills in any other Hitch film. It just makes you miss the thrills. I did laugh out loud a few times and, for a comedy, maybe that’s enough.
