Review of The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956) by Sergio R — 14 Apr 2012
Quintessential Hitchcock. Full of Macguffins, clever editing and complex audio bridges. In a film in which the title suggests the main male character may know too much, it's no surprise that Hitchcock subverts this by imbruing Day's character with all the critical insight and intuition that propels the plot forwards.
The pacing is a trifle slow by contemporary standards - there's no way the final Albert Hall sequence would be allowed to span nearly 30 mins today.
