Will have to look them up. I also haven't seen the Skin Game but Gwenn is awesome in any film :)<br /><br />Black comedies are sort of a new genre to me but I want to see more. And yes, there's the signature Hitchcock humor in lots of his films. It's one of the reasons I love him. People need a comedic relief from the suspense!!Phylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08726532398377237606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4603100249483133100.post-15118041125802787032016-08-14T01:49:56.102-04:002016-08-14T01:49:56.102-04:00These are good reasons indeed! :) I can't say ...These are good reasons indeed! :) I can't say that it's my favourite Hitchcock's film, but it certainly is a very amusing one. However, despite the fact that it's his only comedy (or "black comedy") we have to agree that there is a lot of humour in many of his films. Hitchcock accorded a lot of importance to this. And I must admit, I laugh more at watching The Lady Vanishes (which is for me the funniest Hitchcock's film) or To Catch a Thief, than this one. One I also found very funny was the very underrated Waltz from Vienna (which is Hitchcock's only musical ;) )<br />But to come back to The Trouble with Harry, I think the cast is wonderful in it! Edmund Gwenn was also in The Skin Game, not a very good film, but he was the best thing (and only good thing) about it.

I saw this a long, long time ago and remember being a bit nonplussed, but my movie humor has developed quite a bit and this suddenly sounds delightful...and I love the idea of Mildred Natwick and Edmund Gwynn as the real couple and falling in love over a corpse.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4603100249483133100.post-50274647482157928182016-08-11T23:29:50.059-04:002016-08-11T23:29:50.059-04:00I checked my library but they don't have it :(...I checked my library but they don't have it :( Maybe I'll come across it one day :)Phylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08726532398377237606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4603100249483133100.post-9137185426349082172016-08-11T23:29:00.278-04:002016-08-11T23:29:00.278-04:00I hope it does!
