The Man Who Knew Too Much / USA / 1956

The fact that a good 50% of this film is maddeningly conventional makes the distinctly Hitchcockian scenes (the restaurant, the taxidermist, the Royal Albert Hall) that much more disturbing. Doris Day and that whistling brat are pretty annoying, but Jimmy Stewart is brilliant as the wide-eyed American tourist. I haven’t seen the original in a few years, but I think this film is a slight improvement, at least the major set-pieces are better.
