The Trouble With Harry herkesin kurtulmak isteyip de başaramadığı bir cesedin etrafında döner: birçok Hitchcock filmi gibi… Ama bu kez fark filmin tonunun tümüyle komedi olmasıdır. Sakin taşra kasabasının birbirinden eksantrik kahramanları, bir türlü gömüldüğü yerde kalamayan Harry’nin cesedini oradan oraya taşıyıp dururlar. Hitchcock bu ölüm soslu komedide, sinemasının iki temel unsuru olan korku/gerilim ve komediyi eşsiz bir uyuma kavuşturur. Ve onca başarılı ve usta karakter oyuncusu arasından sivrilen Shirley MacLaine’i de keşfedip ilk kez sinemaya kazandırmış olmanın onurunu taşır.
