The Man Who Knew Too Much (1934)

 Starring Leslie Banks, Edna Best, Nova Pilbeam, Peter Lorre, Hugh Wakefield
Directed by Alfred Hitchcock

Print: black/white
Runtime: 75 min.
Genre: Mystery

An ordinary British couple vacationing in Switzerland suddenly find themselves embroiled in a case of international intrigue when their daughter is kidnapped by spies plotting a political assassination. This fleet and gripping early thriller from the Master of Suspense, Alfred Hitchcock, was the first film the director made after signing to the Gaumont-British Picture Corporation. Besides affirming Hitchcock’s brilliance, it gave the brilliant Peter Lorre (M) his first English-speaking role, as a slithery villain. With its tension and gallows humor, it’s pure Hitchcock, and it set the tone for films like The 39 Steps and The Lady Vanishes.
