Rating: 4/5 --
Directed with a fascinating staccato violence by Alfred Hitchcock, it is the swiftest screen melodrama this column can recall.

New York Times
Peter Lorre's performance as a sort of undercover Napoleon working blandly to stand Europe on its head, is one of the most brilliant screen achievements of the year.

Maclean's Magazine
The story is told in sharp, abbreviated sequences gathering speed steadily toward their explosive climax, makes The Man Who Knew Too Much one of the neatest melodramas of the year.

TIME Magazine
Although the film is fast and consistently clever, it is more deeply flawed than any other Hitchcock film of the period, failing to find a thematic connection between its imaginative set pieces.

Chicago Reader
Rating: 1.5/4 --
It's ultimately not difficult to see why Alfred Hitchcock chose to remake The Man Who Knew Too Much more than 20 years later...

Reel Film Reviews
Hitchcock's tone is odd, with clever set pieces and tightly-constructed and edited sequences interspersed with awkward scenes of emotional restraint ("Steady, old girl, steady") and disconnected characters.

Parallax View
Vintage Hitchcock, with sheer wit and verve masking an implausible plot.
Time Out
Product Description:
An English couple on holiday in Switzerland find themselves embroiled in an international plot to assassinate a foreign dignitary when the husband overhears the secret and their daughter is kidnapped. This taut, suspenseful thriller is aided by the director's wry wit and tight pacing. Critics continue to argue the film's merits versus those of its 1956 remake.
