It's not Sidney Greenstreet's finest. For that you'd need to go to The Maltese Falcon or some of his other contemporary works. He's a bit of a cypher in Casablanca.
I like The Trouble With Harry, too. I don't think it's Hitch's best, but it's beautiful to look at and the humor is sweet and gentle. Yes, his comedic touch should be discussed more. And the link between comedy and suspense is a tight one. It has to be, off-timing will hurt both of them terribly.
Also, I'm mad at Amazon. I was supposed to be on the mailing list when Maitre de Musique came out on DVD, now I can only find it used?! Hrrrmph.
