Hitchcock's scenes are beautifully framed and tautly directed.
March 24, 2014
...a decent thriller that's ultimately saved by its stellar performances and absolutely enthralling last act.
June 24, 2006
Starting slowly amid colourful but rather superfluous travelogue-style Moroccan footage, the film improves no end as it progresses.
July 01, 2008
Far superior to the 1934 version, The Man Who Knew Too Much, underestimated at its 1956 release, should be considered as one of Hitchcock's masterpieces.

Even in mammoth VistaVision, the old Hitchcock thriller-stuff has punch.
July 29, 2014
Even middling Hitchcock is a cut above most thrillers.
March 27, 2009
The film is uncharacteristically rigid and pious for Hitchcock; it feels more like a work of duty than conviction.
March 27, 2009
This version lacks some of the economy of the first, and, unusually for Hitchcock, it sags in the middle. Fortunately, there's a marked improvement as it reaches the last third.
July 29, 2014
James Stewart is superb, and Bernard Miles and Brenda de Banzie make admirable adversaries.
March 27, 2009
Hitch's remake of his own film results in an equally compelling action thriller with sterling performances from Stewart and Day.
March 26, 2009
While drawing the footage out a bit long, he still keeps suspense working at all times and gets strong performances from the two stars and other cast members.
July 29, 2014
Making marvellous use of settings and locations, Hitchcock treats the viewer to superbly choreographed set-pieces.
