The Trouble with Harry 4K Blu-ray delivers stunning video and great audio in this overall recommended Blu-ray release
There is a dead well dressed man in a meadow clearing in the hills above a small Vermont town. Captain Albert Wiles, who stumbles across the body and finds by the man's identification that his name is Harry Worp, believes he accidentally shot Harry dead while he was shooting for rabbits. Captain Wiles wants to hide the body as he feels it is an easier way to deal with the situation than tell the authorities. While Captain Wiles is in the adjacent forest, he sees other people stumble across Harry, most who don't seem to know him or care or notice that he's dead. One person who does see Captain Wiles there is spinster Ivy Gravely, who vows to keep the Captain's secret about Harry.

Universal has released the 1955 Alfred Hitchcock film 'The Trouble with Harry' to the UHD format. The disc is currently available individually (this
release) and as part of a larger five-film UHD boxed set along with Shadow of a Doubt, Saboteur, Marnie, and Family Plot. New specifications include 2160p/HDR video. No
new audio track is included. No new extras are included, either, but the UHD disc does house all of the legacy supplements.
Official synopsis: Set against a picturesque New England backdrop, Alfred Hitchcock's 'The Trouble with Harry' is a dark comedy starring
Edmund Gwenn, John Forsythe, Shirley MacLaine, and Jerry Mathers. The trouble with Harry is that he is dead and, while no one really minds,
everyone feels responsible. After Harry's body is discovered in the woods, several of the local residents must determine not only how and why he was
killed but what to do with the body. Featuring romance, humor...and several unearthings of the corpse, this quirky romp showcases a decidedly
different type of story from the Master of Suspense.
The included screenshots are sourced from a 1080p Blu-ray disc.
Gorgeous. There's not much more to say. The Trouble with Harry dazzles and delights from its opening shots, boasting an incredibly
precise
ultra high definition picture. The opening serene, pastoral shots offer substantially sharper content than the Blu-ray can provide, revealing the intricate
texturing and superb grain management that instantly sets a supremely high expectation for the movie to follow. Of course, it does not disappoint. The
UHD holds serve by revealing a consistently flattering grain presentation, which is filmic and finessed, a perfect complement to the movie and bringing
an expertly lifelike cinema experience into the home. Core details are resoundingly excellent. Faces and clothes could not be more complex and tactile.
The elder Blu-ray does offer a very good image, but the UHD improves upon it by leaps and bounds with great strides in sharpness, clarity, and the
overall cinematic texturing.
The HDR color spectrum is just as impressive. The beautiful fall foliage colors delight in the opening moments with remarkable pop and color perfection.
The golden hues are as lifelike as can be. Flesh tones are true. Black level depth is incredible. White brilliance is undeniable, seen from the first shot
beyond the opening title sequence on a white church exterior. Natural greens, blue skies, and all shades of clothing tones endlessly delight. There's
practically nothing here worthy of complaint. Classic color film on UHD doesn't get any better than this.
Universal brings The Trouble with Harry to the UHD format with a carryover DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 lossless soundtrack. The studio has not
upgraded to multichannel, but there is no need. The elementary sound design is well suited to the 2.0 presentation parameters, offering fine little
ambience that offers modest front side spacing, music that pushes somewhat beyond center, and dialogue that images into that desirable center
grounded arena. Clarity to all elements is about as high as the original source material can provide. For a full audio review, please see the original

While no new supplements have been added for this release, the UHD disc itself does carry over the legacy extras, which are outlined below
(please click here for full review coverage). As it ships individually,
the
legacy Blu-ray disc is included. A Movies Anywhere digital copy code has been included with purchase. This release features an embossed slipcover.
The Trouble with Harry Isn't Over (1080p, 4x3, 32:06).
Simply put, The Trouble with Harry looks gorgeous on the UHD format. The new 2160p/HDR picture quality is of five star reference quality,
whether considering vintage color film or brand new releases. There are no new audio mixes, but the two channel track suits the material just fine. It's
a shame that Universal couldn't round up a few more extras to sweeten the deal, but the truth is that the new video quality is plenty sweet on its own,
earning this release, both individually and as a part of the larger five-film 4K Hitchcock collection, a very high recommendation.
