The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956)
description written by member Gabe:
The 1956 version of The Man Who Knew Too Much is generally consider a
minor work by Alfred Hitchcock, however this extremely false. The
countless scenes showing a vacationing American couple (James Stewart
and Doris Day) seem to lead nowhere, but about thirty minutes into the
film, during a dreamlike murder (which takes place in bright sunlight)
the film really gets good. This sets up the second and third acts of
the film. You get to like the couple so much, you are rooting for them
as they try to rescue their kidnapped son amidst a plot to assassinate
a visiting diplomat. Of course, the high point of the film is the
assassination itself, a twelve minute wordless sequence.The ending,
which involves a rescue at an embassy, is wonderfully silly and tense.
This is one of my favorite Hitchcock films. It's proof that Hitchcock
loved his audience and wanted to keep them thrilled!
