The Man Who Knew Too Much

(1934)

Goodbye for the last time. What could be more touching than that?

Peter Lorre. That’s the first thing to know about this movie: Peter. Lorre. Hitch teams up with his first truly enduring star, someone we still know to this day, and they’re off on an adventure of spies, murders, conspiracies, and kidnappings. Off the heels of what even he calls his lowest point career-wise and artistically, Alfred scores a massive hit, a film frequently referred to as his ‘breakthrough.’ So…does Hitch FINALLY know who he is as a filmmaker? Can he keep it up from here??? We watch to find out!
