Great movie with lousy actors?

Hmm, that's a tough one. Maybe Vertigo? Kim Novak wasn't much of a talent, and James Stewart was seriously miscast. In fact, it was said Hitchcock regretted his decision to use him. Later Stewart wanted the lead in North By Northwest, but Hitchcock naturally turned him down in favor of Cary Grant - a very wise choice. Then again, I don't know if you would call Vertigo a greart movie. Highly enjoyable, but great?

Do you remember one of Hitchcock's early American efforts, The Trouble With Harry? Starring Shirley McLaine and John Forsythe. I saw it when it came out (that dates me) and have the tape somewhere. I recall enjoying it - as close to a comedy as Hitchcock ever made.
