Review of The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956) by Austin B — 25 Nov 2007
The first 80 minutes are classic Hitchcock, with the typical underlying theme of innocent people in the wrong place at the wrong time. Then... the action comes screeching to a halt as we are "treated" to an ENTIRE CONCERTO of classical orchestra with full choir, punctuated with Doris Day (who is a classic hottie, by the way) trying to find 90 different ways to look torn with indecision. YAWN. The ending in the Embassy is anti-climactic.
Favorite quote: "Don't you realize that Americans don't particularly like having their children stolen?".
