The Man Who Knew Too Much (1934)

A Neat Little Crime Thriller


I'm biased, I like Peter Lorre so I will tell you he's great in this film as with all his other films. He plays the menacing and mysterious Abbott with a flair for crime. OH and he's got a really cool skunk hairdo in this one. :)

The movie is good - a neat crime thriller where a man and woman have information about an assassination. The assassin knows that they know so  they kidnap the couple's daughter and threaten harm to her if the couple tells the police what they know of the assassination. It's up to the couple to get their daughter back while not saying anything to the police who are investigating.

If you want a good Hitchcock film to watch or looking for a crime-thriller you haven't seen yet then this film is a good choice (along with Hitchcock's 1956 remake).

8.5/10
