IMDB

A tugboat captain fires a shot from his rifle at a rabbit. When he goes to collect his bounty he finds a man with a wound on his head. He doesn't know what to do, then several people walk by the body as he hides behind a tree. These people all react to the body in a different way. The captain asks an artist to help bury him. Soon we find out that several people could have been the murderer and that his name was Harry. They spend a lot of time digging up and burying the body over and over again while trying to figure out who did it.
This is a great, dry comedy with excellent acting and, of course, directing. I haven't seen too many Hitchcock movies, but all the ones I have I loved. I'm going to make it a point to watch more in the near future and there's a lot I can stream through my Xbox. This is one of my favorite movies. I saw it years ago on Turner Classic Movies and last night got my girlfriend to watch it for the first time. I highly recommend this, especially if you're into black comedies or Weekend at Bernies.

10/10

Rating Scale Explanation

The rating scale is simple. 1 is the worst 10 is the best and 5 is mediocre. 5.5 or greater is a movie that I at least find enjoyable. You could also think of 5 as a zero and 1 as a negative 5. I feel like that sounds even more convoluted.
