  1. Brilliant character actor Peter Lorre (1904-1964) born in Hungary of Jewish descent. Having already gained fame for his performance in 1934 German film M directed by Fritz Lange, Lorre's first English language film was Alfred Hitchcock's The Man Who Knew Too Much. At the time Lorre was living in London, having left Germany to escape the Nazi rise in power. He learned his English lines phonetically. American films Mad Love & Crime & Punishment soon followed as well as some iconic horror film performances

  3. Hitchcock's The Man Who Knew Too Much (1934), superior in every way to his ill-advised 1956 remake.

    This is a tense hard-hitting spy thriller and one of the first movies to deal with terrorism. One of Hitchcock's most violent movies.

    Great performances by all cast members with Peter Lorre the standout.

  4. The Man Who Knew Too Much (1934) marked the beginning of the extraordinary run of great British thrillers made by Alfred Hitchcock in the 1930s. His first spy thriller.

    With Peter Lorre in great form as a sinister assassin, and the Albert Hall scene is one of Hitch's first great visual set-pieces.

    Much better than his ill-advised 1956 remake.
