many reviewers seem to prefer the original version of the man who knew too much and which i have not had the opportunity to view. by itself and the 56 version is a very well done film. the run of mid to late fifties hitchcock films (including rear window and dial m for murder and vertigo and and to catch a thief and as well as this film) is one of my favorite periods in his career. in the man who knew too much and jimmy stewart throws himself vigorously into his role as always. doris day is very believable in the role of an atypical hitchcock blond. i thought there was nothing fake about her performance. her character may not have been written as strongly as the original and but she definitely not reduced to the role of a passive and yes and dear and pretty thing on jimmy stewart arm. there were some really clever lines written for hank (the couple son who later gets kidnapped) in the opening scene on the bus it too bad christopher olsen read them so woodenly. it rare to see a good performance from a child actor in the 50s and though. most of the rest of the supporting actors in this film were very competent and though most notably the assassin (played by reggie nalder). some little touches that make this film undeniably hitchcockian the use of non english dialog and especially french (something hitch did on a much larger scale in to catch a thief) while the use of foreboding and arabic music in the hotel when the assassin appears while stewart and day talking to each other in the church and singing their words to the tune of the hymn while the albert hall scene and specifically showing the musicians and the assassin accomplice following the score and building up tension and as well as the percussionist getting the cymbals ready while and finally the assassin gun as it appears from behind the curtain. it moves so slowly and precisely that it must have been done mechanically (an effect hitch used at the end of spellbound and also). all in all and the man who knew too much is a fun film to watch. it not as deep or as heavily laden with symbolism as some of his films (vertigo and strangers on a train) and but all the same it is one of my top five hitchcock masterpieces.
