Continuity mistake: Right at the end, Shirley MacLaine's dress has a large spot that disappears in the following shot.
The Trouble with Harry (1955)
Directed by: Alfred Hitchcock
Starring: Shirley MacLaine, Edmund Gwenn, John Forsythe, Mildred Natwick, Mildred Dunnock
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Wiggy is looking at John Forsythe's new painting at the cider stand before she goes inside to put up his shopping order, the new painting is also on display inside the store, on the floor behind John Forsythe. (00:16:30 - 00:19:30)
Continuity mistake: In the porch scene with the little boy, keep an eye on the rabbit. It moves around on John Forsythe's lap between cuts, even though it's supposed to be dead.
Trivia: Alfred Hitchcock has a cameo role 20 minutes into this film - he is seen walking past the limousine of a man who is looking at the paintings at an artist's stall.
Arnie: How come you never came over to visit me before?
Sam Marlowe: I didn't know you had such a pretty mother, Arnie.
Arnie: You think she's pretty, you should see my slingshot.
Jennifer Rogers: I've never been to a home-made funeral before.
Capt. Wiles: I have... it's my third. All in one day.
Miss Graveley: How old do you think I am young man?
Sam Marlowe: Hmm... fifty. How old do you think you are?
Miss Graveley: Forty-two! I can show you my birth certificate.
Sam Marlowe: I'm afraid you're going to have to show more than your birth certificate to convince a man of that.
