The Trouble with Harry (1955)
The real trouble with Harry is that Alfred Hitchcock decided to make a movie about him. Come on, Al, you walked right into that one.
I’m not an Alfred Hitchcock fan. Three years of film school taught me to revere and appreciate the “master of suspense”, but I could never force myself to like his movies. I find them incredibly slow and boring. The Trouble with Harry is no exception. It’s very slow, boring, and wordy. There’s a dead guy. His name is Harry. Let’s spend two hours talking about it.
The only reason to watch this movie, besides if you’re a Hitchcock fan and actually like his movies, is Shirley MacLaine. This was her first movie; she was plucked from obscurity and made into a star overnight. Well, that’s not exactly true. You know that famous story about the understudy who got her big Broadway break when the main actress broke her foot and couldn’t go on? That understudy was Shirley MacLaine. Because of her debut onstage in The Pajama Game, she was signed to Paramount Pictures and was subsequently cast in The Trouble with Harry.
