 Barnes & Noble.com - Trouble With Harry -- Alfred Hitchcock - DVD - Wide Screen / Dolby 5.1 / Mono
The Trouble with Harry is also notable for being the first film in Hitchcock’s long and fruitful collaboration with composer Bernard Hermann, who provided the marvelous score.
While it requires a certain suspension of disbelief to accept John Forsythe as a bohemian artist, Shirley MacLaine was an inspired choice, in her first screen role, as his love interest, displaying a sharp, pixie-ish charm that was a welcome alternative to the high-gloss glamour gals of the period (and Hitchcock's usual ice-queen heroines).
The Trouble With Harry is not one of Hitchcock's best films, but the Master was clearly enjoying himself, and anyone who appreciated the eccentricity of Thelma Ritter in Rear Window or Leo G. Carroll in North by Northwest will have a lot of fun with this movie.

 DVD Talk > Reviews > The Trouble with Harry
The trouble with Alfred Hitchcock is that his most popular - and best - movies are so incredibly huge in scope and engaging in story and characters that his smaller films sometimes get lost in the shuffle.
The trouble with Harry, of course, is that Harry is dead, and while creating the sweet, simple comedic framework around his death Hitchcock toys with his favorite fascinations: The morbid sense of mortality and the constrictions and pitfalls of human relationships.
Once Harry expires he becomes the source of much discussion in a small Vermont town and the focus of a day of bonding between John Forsythe, Edmund Gwenn, Mildred Natwick, and, in her film debut, Shirley MacLaine.

Harry Potter books, despite their length, are easier to adapt than, say, something like Lord of the Rings, with its multiple narratives in different locations.
