The Man Who Knew Too Much
Pre-Hollywood Hitchcock is very hit or miss, although his misses are never bad; just underwhelming. This movie is just that. The tension is never quite at the level it should be for the situation, and Peter Lorre’s acting is so subdued and chill, one might think he wasn’t told what kind of film he’s in. At barely 80 minutes, it does mostly breeze by, and there are some entertaining moments (the chair1tossing fight in the church is quite amusing). It just never quite gets up to full speed. Fine, but one of his lesser works.
