Six feet under

The Trouble with Harry

(1955)
Oh, this is just completely silly, but that would be fine if John Forsythe weren't as unappealing a leading man as Hitchcock was ever saddled with. Still, the debut of Shirley MacLaine--particularly her giggly take when the Forsythe character proposes to her Jennifer Rogers--almost makes it worthwhile. Oh: that and the gorgeous Technicolor Vermont fall foliage.
