Customer Reviews

Harry just lies around and gets dirty.

A young kid, Arnie Rogers (Jerry Mathers, Theodore 'Beaver' Cleaver in the Leave It to Beaver series), is playing in a field, and some shots are fired. Soon Arnie comes upon a body. We are now prepared for suspense and mystery. Turns out to be formulaic, in the sense that everybody and n-o-b-o-d-y could have done it. At first, it seems slow and weird, as no one acts normal even for a movie character. They are all slow, nonchalant, and distracted. Harry gets dragged around and buried in controversy. Soon you can get wrapped up in the story and anticipate the end. The movie never picks up speed; you just have more loose ends to follow. No one cares who bumped Harry off or, if they did, if it does not affect his or her future. The draw to this movie nowadays, and maybe then, is the list of actors and the introduction of Shirley MacLaine. Edmund Gwenn looks old here and is remembered also for his performance in “Outward Bound” (1930), 25 years earlier. Directed by Alfred H-i-t-c-h-c-o-c-k, it still has that H-i-t-c-h-c-o-c-k feel. So, sit back and enjoy it for what it is.
