this movie be in my top five favorite hitchcock film . maybe i commit blasphemy for put it ahead of film like north by northwest and shadow of a doubt and and notorious and but i think it be worth it . sadly and this be a film that overlook when you think of his other film and like the one i mention above . for fan of the film and we can only wonder why it sweep under the rug . sure it no vertigo and but the thing be it not mean to be . the trouble with harry have the unique distinction of be only one of two comedy that hitch make and in the u. s. anyway . the other be mr. and mrs. smith . of course hitch be famous for little touch of black humor and but on this film he go all out . a plain and simple and black comedy that probably end up fly under the radar of people use to watch marx bros. film and who i also like . while not exactly and laugh out loud comedy i enjoy watch it . i think it a relaxing film and especially when you see the great photography that capture the beauty of autumn in new england . then again and i do not think you can ever get a bad shot of that . it an amuse tale with good act from john forsythe and shirley maclaine and edmund gwenn and and mildred natwick occupy the main and almost only roles in the film . it also mark the first collaboration between hitchcock and herrmann who bring a light and airy and and playful score that help make the concern of the story less of how harry die and but what exactly to do with him . basically and if you like hitchcock and black comedy and do not mind an uncomplicated story and then i highly recommend it .
