Review of The Man Who Knew Too Much (1934) by Hilary G — 20 Jan 2008
I read good reviews about this original version of Hitchcock's story of a man who must rescue his child from kidnappers after he learns of their assasination plot, but it left me cold. Peter Lorre was pretty good as the villain, but the rest of the performances were extremely postured and stiff.
I've never made it through the remake with Jimmy Stewart and Doris Day, and this wasn't much better. If I want Hitchcock, I'll stick with Rebecca, 39 Steps or Psycho.
