Bye, Bye Harry

Emma Madson meets her ex-boyfriend Ian Dickens, a windbreaker with a head full of ideas. Ian once again has a new idea: he wants to trade old car models and convinces Emma to invest in an old Jaguar and go with him to Switzerland to sell it. The character of well-known comedian Harry Hackett, who died last week, passes in front of the car, and the car with Ian and Emma ends up in a tree. Ian comes up with a new plan to rehabilitate himself in front of Em: what if he digs up Harry Hackett's body, takes a photo of it, then buries the coffin even deeper in the same grave and demands a ransom from the widow? When Hackett's body is in fact stolen, who did it and why becomes increasingly confusing. Ian, whose true plan was to rescue Emma, ​​risks losing everything.

Directed by Robert Young, Bye, Bye Harry leans on a strong ensemble — Tim Dutton, Bela B., Moana Ferré — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2006.
