Helloturia I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

Leoni Haney Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

Mehdi Hoffman There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

HotToastyRag It's well known that Alfred Hitchcock had a penchant for casting icy blondes as his leading ladies, but it's often forgotten Doris Day was once one of them. In The Man Who Knew Too Much, the pronunciation of which was forever immortalized by Robert Osbourne, she's married to James Stewart, another of Hitchcock's favorites. In a rare dramatic turn, Doris shows her hidden talents. There's a famous and heart-wrenching scene that's nearly impossible to watch without a tissue handy. Doris and Jimmy's son has been kidnapped, and Doris is having a meltdown. James injects her with a sedative because he's a doctor and believes that's the best way to help her, and she hysterically cries until she passes out. While Doris usually gets all the acting praise from this movie, it's probably because everyone expects James Stewart to be great in a Hitchcock film. But let's not forget he was the other actor in that difficult scene, watching and deciding how to help his wife. He's wonderful in this movie, but if you know and love him like the rest of the country, it's not really a surprise.The Man Who Knew Too Much isn't the most famous Alfred Hitchcock movie out there, but it's absolutely worth watching. It has Doris's quintessential song "Que Sera Sera" and she also credits it with spawning her lifelong devotion to animals. Plus, it's pretty suspenseful, a necessity in a Hitchcock movie. There are exotic locations, good-looking leading actors, murder, and intrigue. What else do you want?

jonathanmark-77048 Plot: A family vacationing in Morocco accidentally stumble on to an assassination plot and the conspirators are determined to prevent them from interfering.This is one of Hitchcock's worst films easily. The story is not interesting in the least, its not suspenseful, every character acts like an idiot, and the pacing is excoriating. James Stewart is the only good thing in this film, his performance helps it, too bad his character along with his wife are beyond stupid but that's beside the point.Overall, this is one of my least favorite Hitchcock films to date, if you want to watch ones that are worth your time, watch Rope, Strangers on a Train, Rear Window, To Catch a Thief, Dial M for Murder and The Birds, don't even bother with this.

drella15 Was Hitchcock the prequel to Kubrick? Did you need a tractor to get him out of Shepperton Studios?OK, I understand Hitch needed rear-screen to avoid a trip to Marrakesh. But rear-screen even ruins 'North By Northwest'. Unless he sent the second-unit, Hitch was forced to leave his room for Cary Grant's scene vs the crop duster plane. Yet there are moments in that scene which were clearly shot in the studio.And I'd almost swear the scene when Grant & Saint reconnect while walking in the train station was done with rear-screen. Was Hitchcock too frugal to hire extras to play other passengers walking on the platform?It's a good thing Hitch wasn't a Formula One fan. Can you imagine rear-screen ruining the racing scenes in 'Grand Prix'?

Ivan Lalic Hitchcock's version of the classic oldie brings us few new things, but also doesn't fall far behind from the original. Story about a family that's being dragged into an assassination plot in Mexico that goes terribly wrong is always up-to-date, especially when mixed with a mysterious dash of Orient. Stewart and Day do their work in a correct manner, and so does the great Alfred behind the cameras. Ending will go on to be a little bit tacky, but that is expected since this is after all a movie for the entire family. „The man who knew too much" is an average oldie which means it is a decent movie overall.
