Boy, this is unfunny. I love Hitchcock's sense of humour, but he's handed it to entirely the wrong cast. It seems like they play it almost too seriously. Perhaps had this been one of his British films, it would've been far better.

Weird and lacking. Witty at times, but never hilarious.

Hitchcock always displayed a sharp wit, and this is one of the blackest of comedies. Unfortunately it's not terribly funny, but it is an amusing, light, and generally fun way to pass the time. The plot doesn't go through too many significant motions, but Hitch seems more concerned with characters, and how each of them feel obligated and responsible for a murder no one's quite sure of. Notable for Shirley MacLaine's first appearance and gorgeous Autumn photography.

So fucking bizarre. I thought it had a similar vibe to Arsenic and Old Lace. Perhaps I'm just not used to the idea of a black comedy from that time period, as I'm always so delightedly confused and yet amused by the humour.

Somehow interesting idea, but "why are they making such fuss about Harry?", just to quote the Shirley MacLaine-character.

technicolour confusion

Hitchcock's macabre comic touch deftly makes this kooky little comedy worthwhile.

A funny, dark little movie.

written on a bet that hitch couldn't make a movie with a dead man as the main character.

I really wanted to like this movie and I thought it was just ok. But how weird is it that the Beaver is in a Alfred Hitchcock movie. Actually, even though the cast was unknown at the time, they all really brought something to the table in the future. I'm not saying that this was a bad film, cause it wasn't, it just wasn't up to par with anything else Hitchcock had done. Not all as funny as it should have been either.

good music and unexpected manner by master increased its rate

This movie is a testament to the versatility of Hitchcock; it shows what he could have done if he wasn't so constricted by the demands of the audience. Brilliant musical score, first class acting and a beautiful scenery... Actually I have a nagging suspicion that he made the whole movie just to be able to shoot those wonderful leaves in Vermont.

The lighthearted, still engrossing Trouble with Harry is a minor but tasty slice of Hitchcock; a film that showcases the wit that previously crept into the small moments of his great Rear Window with some killer performances on display. Sometimes fun is enough.

No, it's not a morbid and black comedy. It's annoying characters (John Forsythes Sam is so self-satisfied its unbelievable) behaving like children in an extremely dated film. One of Hitchcock's worst. (Pretty elegant storyline though.)

Mr. and Mrs. Smith was a good comedy. The Trouble... is OK enough but at the top of his career Hitchcock could have made something better. Another one made for his own fun.

Hitchcock is not bad at comedy; nearly all of his films are dealt with ease and have some humoristic element in them, which is often memorable. Unfortunately, 'The Trouble with Harry' is not such a case... It's not a bad film, just really, really unfunny. Though to say something positive about it, it does make beautiful use of color.

"TTWH" is a relentlessly black comedy, the master's best effort in the genre. It's got loads of hilarious scenes and dialogues, a lovely protagonistic quartet and, as always, some suspense and a dead body. There is, though, one disadvantage: Hitch is mostly having fun with the corpse, his characters burying it and unburying it all the time and he doesn't seem to pay much attention to the fact that the dead man was, erm, a living man. All I'm saying is that it gets a bit wicked but it's great.

an amazing concept for a comedy, and the beautiful locations and art direction keep it from feeling as stagey as it otherwise would. it's one of hitchcock's least serious efforts, but no weaker for it, and an excellent debut by shirley maclaine.

"A double-bed!" Gagagoooosh!

A consistently amusing but weird and relatively unfunny dark comedy from Hitch that suffers from the fact that it would be done much better in the future. Also, the characters' apparent ignorance of the gravity of death is distracting -and I don't buy that it was just part of building a comedic situation. And yet, middlebrow Hitchcock is still Hitchcock and I enjoyed this dumb little film, despite its obviousness, sometimes in spite of myself.

Hitchcock makes a funny one. Deliciously morbid. Not unlike the Ealing-comedy 'The Ladykillers'. At times a bit dated and silly.
