Nathan and Ryan dig into Alfred Hitchcock’s most charmingly morbid film, The Trouble with Harry (1955), a dark comedy where a dead body keeps inconveniently turning up in the middle of a picturesque Vermont town. The hosts discuss Hitchcock’s playful tone, the film’s autumnal Technicolor beauty, and how its gentle humor stands in stark contrast to the director’s more suspense-driven classics. Featuring an early performance from Shirley MacLaine and a score by Bernard Herrmann, this episode explores why The Trouble with Harry is one of Hitchcock’s most underrated—and oddly comforting—films.
