Reviews for The Man Who Knew Too Much
Full of suspense, hijinks and that particular brand of gallows humour that can only be described as 'Hitchcockian'.
Although the film is fast and consistently clever, it is more deeply flawed than any other Hitchcock film of the period, failing to find a thematic connection between its imaginative set pieces.
Ainda refinando as técnicas que passaria a dominar com perfeição, Hitchcock cria um filme divertido, mas obviamente falho.
This is a suberbly structured thriller whose excellence is aided and abetted by a spirited cast.
Directed with a fascinating staccato violence by Alfred Hitchcock, it is the swiftest screen melodrama this column can recall.
[The film] never fails to intrigue you with its great characters and storytelling.
Vintage Hitchcock, with sheer wit and verve masking an implausible plot.
