If you've ever seen 'The Man Who Knew Too Much' this probably isn't the version you've seen. Yes, it is directed by Hitchcock, but he remade it in the US many years later and the latter film is the more popular version these days.
This film, set in London, sees a husband and wife try to stop the assassination of a government official and rescue their daughter from the murderers responsible.
It's by no means he greatest achievement ever, and would struggle to keep a modern audience interested (apart from Hitchcock fans). Sure Peter Lorre is great as the mastermind villain, and the plot is intriguing and fast paced, but due to the lack of Hitchcock's famous fast cut, tense inducing directing it doesn't standout.
Still not a bad film but by a long-shot, just not one of Hitch's greatest.
