Comment: In my humble opinion, some of the best movies I've ever seen were good old classics like this one. Although I am only 22 years of age, Jimmy Stewart is one of my favorite actors, and this is my favorite of Hitchcock's works. Doris Day outdid herself as the mourning mother, and the two of them did a very good job playing a married couple. I think this movie, as far as the acting is concerned, was way ahead of its time. Method acting was still in its infancy (if that) but the two of them did such an outstanding job, especially in the scene when Jimmy Stewart's character first tells Doris Day's character that their son has been kidnapped. The boy was my only complaint about the whole movie. Kids really didn't know how to act back then. So if you're looking for a good mystery/suspense as only Hitchcock can deliver, then this movie is definitely for you. Oh, and the ending will definitely make you giggle like a maniac. All I can say there is: Wow, there were actually people back then that were pretty cool! Imagine that! ^_^ Customer Rating: Summary: I'm Glad My Vacations Are Nothing Like This Comment: Dr. Ben McKenna (James Stewart) has turned a medical conference in Paris into an extended family vacation. After several other stops in Europe, he and his wife Jo (Doris Day) and son Hank (Christopher Olsen) head to Marrakech, Morocco. Within their first few hours there, they befriend Frenchman Louis Bernard (Daniel Gelin) and British couple Edward and Lucy Drayton (Bernard Miles and Brenda De Banzie). But things turn sinister the next morning when a man dies in Ben's arms. Before he does, the dying man whispers something in Ben's ear. And with that, the McKennas find their vacation is anything but relaxing. Instead, they are caught up in international intrigue that leads them from Africa to London. What's going on? And will they survive? I will admit that the first half hour can be rather slow going. There are some funny scenes, however, that do establish character. And the plot is placed in motion at this early date. Once the murder takes place, things pick up. The tension never lags once the action moves to London. The master of suspense proves himself during one 12 minute sequence. Even without dialogue, I was on the edge of my seat with my heart racing. The acting is equally good here. While I did feel that Doris Day got a little over emotional a couple of times, she was a strong lead most of the time. And we get to hear her sing "Que Sera, Sera," one of her signature songs, a couple of times. James Stewart is great as the male lead. And the rest of the cast does a great job as well. Director Alfred Hitchcock originally made this story in a movie with the same name in 1934. Since I haven't seen that one, I don't know how the 1956 version compares. But I can tell you that this is an excellent suspense film well worth your time. Customer Rating: Summary: Riviting from beginning to end........never a dull moment! Comment: There is nothing negative to say about this movie. You will enjoy it from the start to the finish and then you may just want to watch it again.....and again! It's one of my all-time favorite movies! Customer Rating: Summary: James Stewart is "The Man Who Knew Too Much" Comment: In 1934, Alfred Hitchcock made a masterpiece in filmaking called "THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH" and needless to say, it was a huge hit with audiences. In 1956, Hitch was practically forced to make a remake of the original. He never wanted to remake any of his pictures, and "The Man Who Knew Too Much" was no exception. Amazingly, even though he did not want to make it, the remake is great. James Stewart stars as Dr. Ben McKenna who is vacationing in Morocco along with his wife, (Doris Day) and his son Hank (Christopher Olsen). They stumble upon an insidious plot of murder. To keep them quiet about what they know, Hank is kidnapped. What follows is an exciting rollercoaster of endless thrills as Hitchcock works his magic. One of his absolute best!
