I watched the original The Man Who Knew Too Much which recently got a criterion release. First off great transfer, I have yet to watch the supplements but I imagine they are great.
I chose Peter Lorre because this is his first English speaking film.
Also, Hitchcock is either my #1 or #2 favorite director depending on the day. Though this isn't necessarily my favorite Hitchcock... its still a great one. I couldn't believe that I had never seen the remake Hitchcock did (remake is a very loose term).
Good classic Hitchcock, you can definitely tell its him... though I dont think its as polished as other Hitchcock films. In my opinion 39 Steps is a little bit better so if you are considering a Hitchcock criterion go with that one... though you can't go wrong with this one either.
Rating: 6.75/10
