What is The Trouble With Harry? Well, it's the fact that he's dead, and while no-one really minds, everybody thinks they are responsible. After several unearthings of the corpse, plenty of humour a la Hitchcock, and love affairs between the major characters, the real cause of death is revealed, and Harry troubles no one again. It's a delightful romp and a decidedly different movie from the Master of Suspense. - Director:
- Alfred Hitchcock
