The story is told in sharp, abbreviated sequences gathering speed steadily toward their explosive climax, makes The Man Who Knew Too Much one of the neatest melodramas of the year. Oct 25, 2017 | Full Review…

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. Mar 27, 2009 | Full Review…

Despite the child kidnapping, assassination plot, and relatively high body count, this primarily plays like a comedy. Oct 19, 2017 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

It's ultimately not difficult to see why Alfred Hitchcock chose to remake The Man Who Knew Too Much more than 20 years later... Jan 10, 2017 | Rating: 1.5/4 | Full Review…

The film is a high-water mark of British production. It is first-class cinema, and all its main virtues are essentially cinematic virtues. Jun 2, 2015 | Full Review…
