Alfred Hitchcock directed many films about hiding the truth.
This film hides the truth about a dead man – not necessarily about who killed
him, but about what they should do with his body. Poor Harry. Not only is he
dead, but he’s buried and dug up several times.
Strangely, I like the humor injected in this suspenseful
film. The interactions between people who think they have something to do with
his death are interesting to watch.
Shirley MacLaine makes her debut in this film which is said
to be one of Alfred Hitchcock’s favorite films. It must have been tons of fun
to direct. The actors did a great job. Through the whole movie, I kept
wondering about what would happen next and how it would end.
Costumes are designed by Edith Head.
