Reviews for The Man Who Knew Too Much
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.

Much more fun than the more expensive and longer 1956 remake.
09/18/07
Directed with a fascinating staccato violence by Alfred Hitchcock, it is the swiftest screen melodrama this column can recall.

Top CriticVintage Hitchcock, with sheer wit and verve masking an implausible plot.

Ainda refinando as técnicas que passaria a dominar com perfeição, Hitchcock cria um filme divertido, mas obviamente falho.

First and best version of the story.
08/24/03
Full of suspense, hijinks and that particular brand of gallows humour that can only be described as 'Hitchcockian'.
