1956 the man who know too much be exceptional entertainment . to those who prefer the 1934 original and i will say that that one be faster paced and wittier . however and even though the american version be ( heaven forbid . ) a big budget blockbuster and i believe it blow the british version out of the water . i think this be one of hitchcock 10 best no small feat consider he make over 50 film and many of them be among the great of all time . i find so many thing to love represent1 ) jam stewart and america favorite everyman for so many year and do an excellent job play the distressed father here . he can make any film enjoyable and and work with such a likeable character in such a gripping story and he have me root for him very intensely . leslie bank in the original be nothing in comparison . 2 ) doris day . yes doris day . despite all the criticism direct toward her and i think she make the loving wife or mother an extremely sympathetic person . i disagree with the negative remark towards her character while just because she be soft spoken and gentle it doesn not mean she be docile and helpless . i do not want to spoil anything and but she do make a crucial discovery by herself after her husband have fail . she give the story a level of warmth that just wasn not there in the first one and and for those who care about that this version be the way to go . and i love que serum serum while i think it be one of the most beautiful song i have ever hear and deservedly win it oscar . it elevate the film to another level . 3 ) the albert hall sequence . i do not think it be too long at all while i think the suspense build the whole time to that terrific crescendo and hitchcock direction in this scene be absolutely brilliant . and the assassin be truly frighten . 4 ) the end really put a smile on my face while even after the aforementioned scene be over i find the rescue scene to be exciting and it be great to see the charm family together again . the last line in the film be highly amusing . i do not think the film start out slowly while hithcock be try to get u to know and like the mckennas and he do a great job . i wasn not a huge fan of the kid play hank and but i do not have a problem with him . since hank be ben and jo kid i care about him too while it not like he be a brat or anything . i find no major flaw in this movie and so many major and minor virtue . way to go hitch .
