The Man Who Knew Too Much
(1956)
OK, I'll admit: it may be my visceral abhorrence of Doris Day and my intense hatred for that fucking song-no-don't-make-me-listen-to-it-again-arrrrrrrgggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Please! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!!!!!!!!!OK, I'm better now. As I was saying, I have points of resistance to this film that are perhaps not strictly critically objective. Still, I think even beyond that, it's a rather gimmicky mishmash, clearly inferior to the original version.
One interesting element: Bernard Herrmann in front of the camera for the only time, conducting the London Philharmonic.
