Plot and coherence aren't really so important as atmosphere and style and thrills, and these things [the film] possesses in abundance.

As expected, The Girl Who Knew Too Much has been infused with a compelling and thoroughly memorable sense of style that's ultimately revealed as the one bright spot within a film that's otherwise fairly interminable.

It's a bit plot-heavy for Bava, but it's still beautifully filmed.

Bava, who'd once shot films for Roberto Rossellini and Raoul Walsh, used black and white for the last time on this project, and with its mastery of the noir vocabulary it helped establish the giallo.

It works as a homage to Hitchcock, but without the master's flawless power of storytelling.
