The Man Who Knew Too Much	comment	The Man Who Knew Too Much is a 1934 thriller film directed by Alfred Hitchcock, who remade it in 1956.The 1934 filmLeslie Banks and Edna Best star as Bob and Jill Lawrence, an English couple who find themselves having to help stop an assassination. The Lawrences are in Switzerland, where Jill is competing in a clay pigeon shooting contest. Jill is passing the time by flirting outrageously with another hotel guest, the charming Louis. The flirting comes to an end when Louis is shot in the chest while dancing with Jill. Louis has just enough time before he dies to tell Jill to retrieve a message hidden in a brush in his room. It turns out that Louis is a spy, and the message has to do with a plot to assassinate a foreign diplomat about to visit England. The bad guys, led by Abbott (Peter Lorre, in one of his first English-language roles), attempt to keep Bob and Jill silent by kidnapping their teenage daughter Betty (Nova Pilbeam).The 1956 filmJimmy Stewart and Doris Day star as Ben and Jo McKenna, Americans traveling to Morocco with their son Hank (Christopher Olsen). On a bus, they meet the amiable Bernard, who puts Jo on edge by remaining mysterious while asking them numerous questions about themselves. Soon her suspicions are confirmed when Bernard stumbles out of a crowd, in disguise and mortally wounded, to whisper a secret message to Ben with his dying breath. Unwittingly embroiled in events beyond their understanding, Ben and Jo quickly learn that there are dangerous people out there who very much want to keep the information a secret.Hitchcock took the title, but nothing else, from the short story collection The Man Who Knew Too Much by G. K. Chesterton. Has nothing to do with The Man Who Knew Too Little beyond the title and a similar theme for the plot.

While the others regained their Paramount logos on DVD and Blu-ray, this one still ended with an '83-era Universal ident on its 2012 Blu-ray.

Until she just snaps and screams. Just at the right time to throw off the killer's aim. Near the climax, she hears Hank whistle to "Qué Será, Será" while she plays on the piano. Because she knows he's nearby, but can't do anything to help him, except play.

The Man Who Knew Too Much / int_aa2e07f1	comment	Fire Hose Cannon: Alfred Hitchcock reported that the London police, who were cooperating with the production, objected to the police being shown using guns against the criminals holed up in the house behind the temple. When he asked them how they would deal with it, they suggested using fire engines and hoses: a technique that had been employed in the Siege of Sidney Street in 1911. Eventually, the police agreed to the scene showing the police using rifles, so long as they were shown as being specifically issued for the assault.
