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

Rating: 3.5/4 --
One of Hitchcock's most unfairly overlooked accomplishments - a hidden gem in one of the cinema's most legendary careers.

From the Front Row
An unusually fine dramatic story handled excellently from a production standpoint.

Variety
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
I prefer stronger meat in this type of picture, but there are good performances from Edna Best, Leslie Banks and Frank Vosper.

The Spectator
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
Vintage Hitchcock, with sheer wit and verve masking an implausible plot.

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.
