Trivia
Alfred Hitchcock insisted on using a real actor for the body of Harry. He chose Philip Truex. See more »Goofs
Sam's collar changes from curled to straight in every scene. This could be because the material of his shirt appears to be made out of jersey cloth. See more »Quotes

This film is a deviation from Hitchcock's normal subjects. Sure, there is murder and intrigue, yet somehow a strange comical effect.
The trouble with Harry is black comedy at its finest. Nobody but good old Sir Alfred could make a mockery of a dead body lying in the woods. But Hitchcock revels in the role, displaying wit and character to a timeless film. He's done it again!
