Member Movie Reviews K. K. (GAMER) Reviewed on 9/17/2023... The Man Who Knew Too Much (1934) - Old School Alfred Hitchcock Black and White that was not great but also not terrible.
Movie Reviews10 British-made Hitchcock films Annie Van Auken | Planet Earth | 05/25/2008 (4 out of 5 stars) "Included on MILL CREEK's ALFRED HITCHCOCK: STUDIES IN FEAR are three of the great director's silent-era classics. "The Lodger" is taken from the earliest book to offer a solution to the Jack the Ripper case. "Easy Virtue" (based on a Noel Coward play) is about a divorcee who flees a public scandal (an artist in love with her commits suicide). While in France she meets and marries a man whose family discovers her dark secret. "The Ring" was a departure for Hitchcock. It's a well-done boxing film, scripted by the director himself.
Also among these British-era AH photoplays: "Jamaica Inn" concerns a gang of land-based pirates. Its solid cast includes Maureen O'Hara in her screen debut. "The Man Who Knew Too Much" is an espionage nail-biter that features both a kidnapping and an assassination plot "Juno and the Paycock" is the saga of an Irish family's rags-to-riches-to-rags journey. (From the Sean O'Casey play.) "Sabotage" is Hitch at his best. A Scotland Yard detective tries to catch a saboteur who plans to explode a bomb in London. "Young and Innocent" is a mistaken identity story. A man wrongfully arrested for his girlfriend's murder escapes and goes on the run. "Number Seventeen" is the address of a gang of theives' hideout. They are tracked to their safehouse by a detective. "The Skin Game" is a battle between two families over land in a village that nearly destroys both of them. ALFRED HITCHCOCK - MASTER OF SUSPENSE (also from Mill Creek Entertainment) is the ideal companion to this collection. It contains ten movies not on this set, plus two episodes of Hitch's 1950's TV anthology series.
