The Trouble with Harry

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

I avoided this film like the plague. I like Hitchcock and have enjoyed the mix of suspense, humour and guaranteed star performances over the years but reading about this one I always felt it would be too far from what I associated with being good about his films.

Finally saw it last week and loved it. It is quirky, beautifully shot and extremely funny in an understated way. John Forsythe was good in the starring role and Shirley McClaine stunning in her youth with a perfectly measured performance. Overall though I thought Edmund Gwenn stole the show. He was hilarious as the bumbling captain who just wanted to put an end to the debacle.

More depth than I ever credited him with. Good old Hitch.
