The Man Who Knew Too Much

Far superior to the 1934 version, The Man Who Knew Too Much, underestimated at its 1956 release, should be considered as one of Hitchcock's masterpieces.

James Stewart is superb, and Bernard Miles and Brenda de Banzie make admirable adversaries.

The film is uncharacteristically rigid and pious for Hitchcock; it feels more like a work of duty than conviction.

...a decent thriller that's ultimately saved by its stellar performances and absolutely enthralling last act.

Starting slowly amid colourful but rather superfluous travelogue-style Moroccan footage, the film improves no end as it progresses.
March 27, 2009
This version lacks some of the economy of the first, and, unusually for Hitchcock, it sags in the middle. Fortunately, there's a marked improvement as it reaches the last third.

Making marvellous use of settings and locations, Hitchcock treats the viewer to superbly choreographed set-pieces.
March 27, 2009
Hitch's remake of his own film results in an equally compelling action thriller with sterling performances from Stewart and Day.

Even in mammoth VistaVision, the old Hitchcock thriller-stuff has punch.
March 27, 2009
Hitchcock's scenes are beautifully framed and tautly directed.
July 29, 2014
Even middling Hitchcock is a cut above most thrillers.
March 26, 2009
While drawing the footage out a bit long, he still keeps suspense working at all times and gets strong performances from the two stars and other cast members.
