Review of The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956) by Kolby H — 19 Jun 2007
This film, a 1956 remake of a film he made in 1934 under the same title, is gripping and brilliantly made, but it doesn't strike me as anything particularly special compared to towering Hitchcock masterpieces like "Rear Window," "Vertigo" or "Psycho.
" It has the kind of attention to character detail that distinguishes itself from other twisty thrillers of this sort---you believe in the characters as people, and many of them show different sides and shades---but it feels like a movie he feels obligated to make rather than some sort of deeply personal statement.
Still, Hitchcock seemed mostly incapable of making dull movies, and "The Man Who Knew Too Much" is no exception.
