The Trouble With Harry (1955)
Director Alfred Hitchcock takes a change of pace with this dark comedy adaptation staring Edmund Gwenn, John Forsythe and Shirley MacLaine. The trouble with Harry is that he is dead, no one is really sure who killed him or what they should do with the body.
This farce falls flat because it lacks any real pace or energy, everything moves far too slowly and really fails to play up the ridiculousness of the situation the characters find themselves in. There are some really nice shots of the woodland in autumn that provide a nice back drop for the film but that is about the best you can say about this film.
3/5 not a classic Hitchcock.
