HITCHCOCK - THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH(1956)
This is a really good rendition of the movie "The
Man Who Knew Too Much"(the first one was in 1934)!
Perhaps a little long, amd the ending seems to be
a little abrupt(espicially given that the movie is
a little over two hours long!)!! But over all this is
one of Hitch's best! Stewert gives an excellent
performance, and Day is good, though maybe not stellar!
A great one to watch!!
A great making of special here! A
From IMDb.com:
A remake of Alfred Hitchcock's 1934 film of the same
name, The Man Who Knew Too Much tells the story of
a family which, while vacationing in Morocco, gets
unexpectedly entangled in an assassination plot and
is pursued by the conspirators who are hellbent on
preventing them from causing any sort of interference
with their plans.
Having watched a number of Hitchcock's films in the
past few days, I was expecting another mood-escalating
thriller from the genius filmmaker who never fails to
amaze but this time the experience wasn't as satisfying
as it has been on most occasions previously. The film
no doubt delivers on most goods but unfortunately
feels slightly overlong & extended in the end.
Featuring a clever plot, impressive direction, rich
cinematography, mesmerising music and striking
performances from James Stewart & Doris Day, The
Man Who Knew Too Much has its moments, including
one where it could've culminated magnificently well
before the actual conclusion. And even though it may
not rank amongst Hitchcock's finest works in my book,
I'd still recommend it for this thriller is definitely worth
a watch. - CinemaClown
