Negative Positive
Title: Vintage Hitchcock
Review: Alfred Hitchcock's tenure as the "Master of Suspense" truly began with this compact 1934 thriller. After a shaky start, Hitchcock maintains the European intrigue with a series of bravura set-pieces - climaxed by the Royal Albert Hall nail-biter and a lengthy gun battle in London's East End. Peter Lorre's offbeat villainy stands out among a memorable cast. "The Man Who Knew Too Much" is far superior to Hitchcock's overlong 1956 remake.
