Movie Reviews of The Man Who Knew Too Much
Movie Review: Nothing beats the classics!
Summary: 4 Stars
In my humble opinion, some of the best movies I've ever seen were good old classics like this one. Although I am only 22 years of age, Jimmy Stewart is one of my favorite actors, and this is my favorite of Hitchcock's works. Doris Day outdid herself as the mourning mother, and the two of them did a very good job playing a married couple. I think this movie, as far as the acting is concerned, was way ahead of its time. Method acting was still in its infancy (if that) but the two of them did such an outstanding job, especially in the scene when Jimmy Stewart's character first tells Doris Day's character that their son has been kidnapped. The boy was my only complaint about the whole movie. Kids really didn't know how to act back then. So if you're looking for a good mystery/suspense as only Hitchcock can deliver, then this movie is definitely for you. Oh, and the ending will definitely make you giggle like a maniac. All I can say there is: Wow, there were actually people back then that were pretty cool! Imagine that! ^_^

Ben and Jo go to London and take matters into their own hands.System Requirements:Bonus Features: The Making of The Man Who Knew Too Much Production Photographs Trailers Production Notes Running Time: 120 MinFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre:?ACTION/ADVENTURE/THRILLERS Rating:?PG UPC:?025192830723 Manufacturer No:?28307Alfred Hitchcock's 1956 remake of his own 1934 spy thriller is an exciting event in its own right, with several justifiably famous sequences. James Stewart and Doris Day play American tourists who discover more than they wanted to know about an assassination plot. When their son is kidnapped to keep them quiet, they are caught between concern for him and the terrible secret they hold. When asked about the difference between this version of the story and the one he made 22 years earlier, Hitchcock always said the first was the work of a talented amateur while the second was the act of a seasoned professional. Indeed, several extraordinary moments in this update represent consummate filmmaking, particularly a relentlessly exciting Albert Hall scene, with a blaring symphony, an assassin's gun, and Doris Day's scream. Along with Hitchcock's other films from the mid-1950s to 1960 (including Vertigo, Rear Window, and Psycho), The Man Who Knew Too Much is the work of a master in his prime. --Tom Keogh
