The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956)


Date watched: November 11

Review: The Man Who Knew Too Much came in the middle of Alfred Hitchcock's career, and that's about where it lands in ranking of his movies. The movie had supreme acting by James Stewart and Doris Day, while the rest of the cast did excellent as well. While the plot was mysterious and the characters smoking, the suspense was toned down for this movie. The movie goes by quickly for a two hour movie, but it is not because of a fast moving plot, but of a smooth moving one. The plot was simple enough so that the viewer doesn't have to pay too much attention, and still understand all the details. The most important part of the movie is the look into the world of a family who is put into an abnormal situation, and what that family will do to stay together. Hitchcock knows how to create an atmosphere for the actors of the movie to perform at their peak.

Rating: 8.5/10.0
