the man who know too much { 1956 } be a remake of a film that alfred hitchcock make in england in 1934 with the same name . in my opinion and his late effort be far superior . many critic and fan of alfred hitchcock will argue that the remake be mediocre and doesn not have the spine tingle suspense of the original with peter lorre . in both film the plot be essentially the same and except the original be set in switzerland and the remake in marrakech . it tell the story of a married couple { james stewart and doris day } vacation with their young son and meet a suspicious man and that be very curious about their past . it just so happens and he an agent that look for a couple involve in a plot to assassinate a world leader . then he get stab in a marrakeck market because of it be find out that he a spy and and proceeds to fall into stewart arm . dying and he tell him the whole story of the assassination plot . stewart and day then find out that another couple they meet be the couple the agent be look for and have kidnap their son . the film contain excellent performance by stewart and day and in a straight dramatic role and a worried and frightened parent . this film prove that doris day could act in suspenseful drama as well a carefree musical . the direction by alfred hitchcock be top notch . the film keep you on the edge of your seat every minute . the scene in albert hall be a classic . the original be so slow paced and drab . i do not know how people can compare the two . just watch the remake and you will enjoy it . i give the movie a positive .
