The Trouble With Harry

The Trouble With Harry is an American comedy film directed by Alfred Hitchcock, which was released on October 3, 1955 in the United States.
The film follows several quirky residents of a small town as they deal with a dead body that has inconveniently turned up in a local park. The film starred John Forsythe and Edmund Gwenn and co-starred Shirley MacLaine and Jerry Mathers, both in their first film roles.
One of Hitchcock's few true comedies (though most of his films had some element of tongue-in-cheek or macabre humor), the film was a box office disappointment but is today considered, if not one of Hitchcock's best efforts, certainly one of his most unusual.
The film was unavailable for nearly 30 years after its initial release after Hitchcock bought back the rights to the film. It was finally reissued in 1984 and has since been released on VHS and DVD.
