The Man Who Knew Too Much is
one of the most successful and critically acclaimed films of Hitchcock's British period. The film is Hitchcock's first film using this title and was followed later with his own 1956 film using the same name featuring a significantly different plot and script with some modifications. The second film featured James Stewart and Doris Day, and was made for Paramount Pictures. The two films are very similar in tone.

The Man Who Knew Too Much is a classic Hitchcock thriller, featuring suspenseful action, complex characters, and a memorable score by Louis Levy. The film was a critical and commercial success, and it has been praised for its taut direction, suspenseful plot, and strong performances from Banks and Lorre.
