"The Trouble with Harry" is a classic black comedy directed by Alfred Hitchcock, released in 1955. Set in a small Vermont town during autumn, the film hilariously explores the reactions and interactions of several eccentric characters who believe they may be responsible for the demise of a man named Harry.
The story begins when Captain Wiles, a local resident and retired sea captain, stumbles upon Harry's lifeless body while he is out hunting in the woods. Initially unfazed by the discovery, Captain Wiles becomes increasingly concerned that he may be suspected of murder due to his violent past at sea.
Shortly after, Jennifer Rogers, a young artist, also discovers Harry's body, mistaking him for a mannequin. While initially horrified by the discovery, Jennifer quickly realizes that Harry is her ex-husband, from whom she inherited a small fortune. Wishing to keep her newfound wealth a secret, Jennifer decides to hide the body and dispose of it discreetly.
Meanwhile, Sam Marlowe, a struggling local painter, stumbles upon the scene just as Jennifer is moving Harry's body. Believing he accidentally caused Harry's death during a recent argument, Sam offers to help Jennifer cover up the crime. Both begin to concoct an alibi and prepare to dispose of the body together.
As the news spreads throughout the town, other residents also believe they might be responsible for Harry's demise. The town doctor, Dr. Greenbow, recalls treating Harry for an illness and wonders if his medication may have caused his death. A local spinster, Miss Gravely, believes that she accidentally hit Harry with her shoe while arguing with him about trespassing on her property.
As all these characters unwittingly cross paths, they engage in humorous discussions, encounters, and elaborate schemes to cover up their assumed involvement in Harry's death. Sheriff Calvin Wiggs, assigned to investigate the case, remains humorous and level-headed throughout, oftentimes acting more as a confidant than an investigator.
Hilarity ensues as the characters attempt to navigate their guilty consciences while simultaneously trying to protect their secrets and maintain their innocence. The film explores themes of guilt, mortality, and the absurdity of life through its darkly humorous lens.
In classic Hitchcock style, "The Trouble with Harry" combines mystery, comedy, and unique character dynamics, ultimately delivering a lighthearted and entertaining experience filled with unexpected twists and turns.
