This week we return to our Hitchcock countdown with his remake of his own The Man Who Knew Too Much. The 1934 original, which we reviewed here about 2 1/2 months ago, was a pleasant, very British kidnapping espionage movie. Here we have a glossy Hollywood remake with big stars, big locations, and big hit song to boot. ***SPOILER ALERT*** We do talk about this movie in its entirety, so if you plan on watching it, we suggest you watch it before listening to our takes.A Paramount Picture. Produced and Directed by Alfred Hitchcock. Screenplay by John Michael Hayes. Starring James Stewart, Doris Day, Bernard Miles, Brenda de Banzie, Daniel Gelin, Ralph Truman, Christopher Olsen. Cinematography by Robert Burke. Music by Bernard Hermann. Ranking: 17 out of 52. Ranking movies is a reductive parlor game. It’s also fun. And it’s a good way to frame a discussion. We aggregated over 70 ranked lists from critics, fans, and magazines The Man Who Knew Too Much got 1,992 ranking points.
