The Trouble with Harry Isn't Over (2001)

It left me wanting more, 28 March 2008

If you'll pardon the pun, the trouble with something like The Trouble with Harry Isn't Over is that there never seems to be enough. I appreciate these "making of" type features, but they always leave me wanting more. As much as I enjoyed the on camera interviews with star John Forsythe, producer Herbert Coleman, and Hitchcock's daughter Pat Hitchcock O'Connell, I can't help but wonder about some of the other people involved in the movie. Did they ask Shirley MacLaine to participate? Or what about Jerry Mathers? I would have loved to have heard from either of the two.

I guess I should just be happy with what's here because the stories about the making of The Trouble with Harry from the people that were interviewed are entertaining and interesting. Listening to John Forsythe do his Hitchcock impression was a real treat. Another treat was learning about the box loads of Vermont leaves that Hitchcock had shipped to California to be used as set dressing. How cool is that? So while I may have wanted more, what's here is mighty good.
