Why this pick
Like The Trouble with Harry, it turns a peaceful, picturesque community into a gentle comic machine, favouring dry observation, relaxed pacing, and eccentric human behaviour over conventional plot urgency.
Why this pick
This shares Hitchcock's cheerful treatment of wrongdoing: a quaint setting, impeccably controlled dark humour, and escalating mishaps played with a deceptively light touch.
Why this pick
A death and an inconvenient body trigger increasingly elaborate concealment schemes, with the same genial, absurdist tone and delight in respectable people behaving badly.
Why this pick
Its playful criminal complications and buoyant lack of moral panic echo the charming perversity of The Trouble with Harry, where a potentially grim premise becomes airy social comedy.
Why this pick
A picturesque English village, deadpan responses to alarming events, and genteel surface manners make this a modern companion to Hitchcock's sunny, macabre comedy.
