Movie Review: An Inconvenient Body
Summary: 4 Stars

It was a pleasant autumn day in Vermont for hunting rabbits. You see one, fire off a volley of three shots, and stroll off to find your prize, not too fast mind you, your body is not what it used to be. You may be slow like the tortoise, but like the fabled tale of The Tortoise and the Hare, slow and steady beats fast and overconfident every time.

With each bracing step, you take a deep breath of fresh country air. You take in the beauty of your surroundings: it is like a painting, with crisp, dry blue skies shining above the distant hills, green fields and stately trees in all stages of transition from summer green to winter leafless.

A palette of colors surround you. Read oak leaves, yellow maple leaves, orange leaves, brown leaves, burnt sienna shoes, cobalt blue argyle socks, copper silk tie, and a crimson red trickle of blood.

Something is wrong here, instead of finding a hare, you have found Harry! What to do, what to do! Before you can decide, you discover that you won't be the only one to stumble on Harry's body.

As it turns out, it seems that no one quiet knows what to do about Harry, but they are agreed on one thing and that is not to let the local sheriff find out about the late and formerly dapper Mr. Harry Warp.

This dark adult comedy feels more like a play than a movie. It is heavy on dialog and in the outdoor scenes there is a curious absence of natural sounds that you might expect in such a rustic setting.

Picture quality: excellent. No cropping. Sound quality: excellent.

Movie Review: coexistently comedic and twisted
Summary: 3 Stars

The trouble with Harry is that he's dead, and everyone seems to have a different idea of what needs to be done with his body. In this film Alfred Hitchcock throws viewers a twist as, instead of the usual mystery/suspense fare of legend, he serves up a black comedy about a corpse. From the onset I doubted this film, wondered if there'd be anything there to cultivate a worthwhile experience. Press play. My first impression was visceral reaction as I wondered at the breathtaking Vermont fall foliage shots that grace the film's opening moments. Striking stuff, and surprisingly sharp color and detail for being over 50 years old. So after a quirky introduction credit sequence, things begin humming along and, really, I wasn't into it at all. There was a type of humor there I recognized as something that just didn't connect with me, albeit more in implementation than theme. Furthermore, the movie has some serious issues with voice dubbing and synchronization. I was therefore standing on the edge of perhaps the first Hitchcock film I wasn't going to benefit from at all. As it turned out, it took about half the movie for me to finally get into the sprit of this brand of macabre comedy and begin to appreciate it for what it was. I even laughed two of three times. A young John Forsythe stars in a lead role and does a fair job with his character. Shirley MacLaine makes her film debut with a memorable character; it's amazing that the young actress onscreen here is the same person that exists with that name today. Time does remarkably tragic things to people. But the best character in the movie was the charismatic Captain, played to perfection by the late Edmund Gwenn. The score is noteworthy as well, setting the perfect tonality for a theme that is coexistently comedic and twisted. In the end, definitely not one of my favorite Hitchcock outings, but I developed an appreciation for it as it wound along, and a few laughs as well.

Movie Review: Funny Thriller from Alfred Hitchcock
Summary: 5 Stars

If you enjoy Alferd Hitchcock as well as I do, here is a Movie that has literally been Lost. Alfred Hitchcock created this Thriller with a twist, as it is a Comedy and in this movie you will see the beginning of a Great Female Star Shirley Maclaine but I am not going to tell you anymore because you should see it, By the way the Movie is loaded with all Great Stars. Its a Alfred Hitchcock Mystery with a twist. I hope you will purchase it and enjoy it as much as I did
