Review of The Man Who Knew Too Much (1934) by Matt W — 09 Jan 2008
Hitchcock's James Stewart remake of "The Man Who Knew Too Much" pales in comparison to his original film. Some claim that the character development in this version is rushed (film is barely over an hour in length), but the additional action and suspense scenes make up for those absent in the remake.
It is also worth noting that the "assassination scene" is reconstructed (virtually shot for shot) in the remake. Kurosawa's "High and Low" ("Heaven and Hell") was probably inspired by this film.
