Michel, wife Claire and their children are setting off to their holiday cabin when, at a service station, Harry approaches Michel swearing they're old school friends and remembering their shared experiences. Harry and his girlfriend latch on to Michel and Claire, but Harry's generous nature appears to be a guise.
IMDB - 7 wins
With a Friend Like Harry is a jewel of its kind, Hitchcock would love it. Consider that most of it takes place either indoors or outdoors at night or on menacing serpentine roads. Very claustrophobic effects, just like the master himself. And it is devoid of the usual clichéd homages & in-jokes that prevail in the usual Hitchcock wannabe film. It builds smoothly & menacingly, with perfect tempo, the characters are believable to the point of banality - again, just like the master's very best films. But over & above the expert elements of suspense & character & humor that pervade this movie, I would like to add that it is a delicious contemporary reading of the universal Faust legend & to me that is it's ultimate brilliance.
