I didn't meet Alfred Hitchcock, but I did see him, at a distance, at the Union Plaza casino in Las Vegas. He was standing at a roulette wheel, writing down notes. I did not approach him, but will never forget seeing him. What a legend.
It was his cameo moment in your life movie :P
I was there too, noticed me chatting up with him?
@@htcm038 what are you in middle school?
I made out with Hitchcock in a public restroom near San Francisco. He told me he would write a movie about me.
A few days later, Psycho came out.
Wow, what a special memory, thank you for sharing!!!🙏👌📽️👻❣️
I've seen thousands of films and thousands of actors, but Peter Lorre has the most distinctive and charming mask, his voice and acting skills are truly unique.
Thousands of films? Thousands of Actors? I've told you at least a million times not to exaggerate.
@@mikeymoo1291 you made oi larf.
@@mikeymoo1291 It's not that exaggerated, a single film has usually many actors and some people have watched a few thousand films.
A friend of mine upon the birth of her son declared that he looked just like Peter Lorre! Poor boy on two counts! On account of his looks and on account of his brainless mum!!!
Absolutely correct
When Peter Lorre made this film he didn't speak English. He learned his lines phonetically. Such a brilliant actor. If you ever get the chance, watch his movie M, maybe his best performance.
I could not agree more. "M" (a German film from 1931 & directed by Fritz Lang) is one of the true cinema classics. Superb in every dept !
Yes, M is a remarkable Weimar era film.
M is a masterpiece!
I heard the same thing that the OP said here about Lorre and this film.
Just here for Peter Lorre's brilliant acting. Always such a thrill to watch him onscreen. One of my all time favorite actor.
Always enjoyed viewing Peter Lorre. A master of many different acting 🎭 art forms!!! His presence always enhances the other actor’s parts.
HI A., THAT'S TRUE. I NEVER TĤOUGHT OF IT BUT TRULY HE HE DID LEND A CURIOSITY TO THE ATMOSPHERE. I WAS SOMEHOW UPLIFTED WHEN HE CAME ON SCENE😮 HE SEEMED NEÌTHER GOOD NOR BAD BUT MENACING AT ALL TIMES SOMEHOW.😉 keep viewing!!
I heartily concur !!
Lorre only spoke broken English at this point in his career. He reportedly learned some lines in this movie using phonetics, but not really knowing what every word he said meant. I watched this movie listening for Lorre lines that sounded strange, but didn't notice any.
Same here. He did very well, considerring.
As always, thank you for posting these great classics!
My sentiments exactly ! So wonderful to come here to CZcams & see so many great classic of yesteryear uploaded !
The first 10 minutes is the most exquisite beginning to any movie. The rest is just the solution. Thanks Hitch.
Hitchcock thought that this film feels like the job of an amateur, but it has one thing the other version of The Man Who Knew Too Much will never have: Peter Lorre.
And the newer version had something this version never had - that insufferable song "Que Sera Sera". The story really doesn't need it !
As I do when I take off my hat, you make a good point ! I prefer this original over the 50s remake.
This version is boring and amateurish, but the other one has Doris Day, who I heartily dislike for her exaggerated goody-goodiness. It is far less boring though, if only because it's in color. There is nothing good about this version at all.
Peter Lorre is ABSOLUTELY wonderful...flawless
I certainly have a notion to second THAT emotion !!
Lorre was the perfect mix of creepy and handsome
I find this version so much more entertaining than the Hollywood version 20 years later. The wonderful chemistry and humor between Leslie Banks and Edna Best is right up there with William Powell and Myrna Loy but more subtle. The humor in scenes like the dentist's and the church are priceless!
and poor old Clive.
That trademark humour of Hitchcock, and British films in general, is the only good thing about it. Edna Best's acting is especially bad, but that might be partly the directors fault.
I don't think enough has been said about the wonderful relationship of Bob and Jill Lawrence. Rarely has a couple showed such affection, trust, humor and instant understanding of swift repartee. The Bob and Clive partnership is like that of Charters and Caldicott, and their communication during the hymn singing is priceless.
It’s like William Powell and Myrna Loy in the Thin Man films…without the alcohol.
The scenes of the family, especially Betty at the end, are so touching.
I had forgotten about the wife's special skill until the end
You speak the truth, Kemo Sabe !!
Thanks so much for posting
Peter Lorre ❤
I've never seen this movie before; thank you for the upload. It's great. Love the oldies.
Peter Lorre stole this, what a genius!
Peter lorre steals everything he's in.
That's for sure !!
I never knew that Hitchcock made a remake of his own old film. That's amazing!
I’m so glad you wrote that. I thought I was going nuts!
@@clareshaughnessy2745same here. I knew that I had seen a movie with the same title. But this wasn't it!!!!
Cecil B. de Mille made the Ten Commandments 3 times.
@@ERH1453really??
@@user-ws1qf7ol4kI believe it starred Doris Day and ? Que Surahh Surahh🎵🎶 what ever will be will be🎶🎶🎶🎶.
I do love movies with Peter Lorre
I know the feeling !!
Peter Lorre un actor de los grandes ,es un placer verlo en este video ,y también al gran maestro del suspenso ,gracias por compartir tan buen cine 👏👏👏👏👍😍🥰
Have you seen the Maltese Falcon?Peter Lorre is also in Casablanca.
Both great movies.
_Aww, my dearest Helen! Be aware, Peter Lorre is watching us...I must confess that I'm not "The Man who knew So much"! Even so, it's better to take care, because the danger is waiting for us in the corner of the street! But don't be afraid, because suddenly Alfred Hitchcock says "Cut! Scene perfect!"...And we realize that is only an old Suspense movie from 89 years ago...One of the Best in action & mistery! I hope you enjoy it with us here on CCC movie chat at live! God bless you always, my Sweet Helen!_ 🤩🤩🤗🤗❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks Paulo 👸❤❤❤
Thank for Alfredo Hitchcock did contributed to remake movies industry which hilarious on crime, mystery, thrill
Excellent. Haven't seen this in years. What a treat, thank you CCC.😘
I like it a LOT better than the Doris Day vehicle.
-- Black and white films are the best. 😊❤️⚪️⚫️
Yes they truly are!
Exactly black and white people are the best😌❤️
I thoroughly disagree. B+W films are completely lacking in depth, detail, and character. It makes them much harder to watch.
Great movie! An admirer of Mr.Lore and his dark roles. Thanks for the treat!
Thank you!
Thanks for posting 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👌
Thanks for this one! Thanks for all the movies.
Thanks to you too for your cult membership & support… enjoy the movies… the best is yet to come so stay tuned 📺👃📺
Specially Hitchcock's.
I agree 100 per cent !!
These British films made it possible for Hitchcock to go to Hollywood and make film magic and Hitchcock famous.
Refreshing film, thank you!
Great film. Never seen this before. Hitchcock was a master. Thanks for uploading
Says who ?
@@mjrotondi5086 says I
I just watched The 39 Steps, and this is another fine spy story pre-WWI. Imagination here, most WWII films lacked- they had the real stories and spies telling them. Hitchcock is still in a class of his own. Compared to the remake, I like this one a lot more, especially the acting by both parents and Betty. The final scene was realistic- 2 frantic parents staying calm to help their terrified child. They are more genuine, where Doris Day was just sappy (sorry if you're her fan- I grew up avoiding her movies). I guess some of us older people simply prefer the old to the new. TY- great film &HD!
Well said and well put !!
Another outstanding Englishman and contributor to the world thank god for the English they have given so much in music , history , films and science what a nation.
Mil gracias!!!
Unfortunately i didn't see yesterday watching this GREAT film by THE BEST director in history today
Tnks CCC 👊🔥🏆
Excellent movie, thank you 👍
Thank you.
Trebuie văzut. Mulțumesc!
I love the old char-woman handling the pistol.
Great movie. Thanks.
Bernard Herrman wrote the score for the remake, but thought he could do most justice in re-using Arthur Benjamin's choral work in the same denoument at the Royal Albert Hall
Nice Way to end the beautiful weekend
Thanks for posting this movie haven’t seen this one great one
Só o nome de Hitchcock já me chama pra ver o filme!
If you love Hitchcock, you will love this one
Interesting how Hitchcock used the same title for his 1956 film with James Stewart and Doris Day
This one is often called Hitchcock's worst film... Although his very first films are also pretty poor... The problem with this film is Hitchcock did not control the film editing... He remade the film in 1956... the film with James Stewart and Doris Day in 1956 because he was displeased with the film... This film (1934) might also be called the beginning of Hitchcock masterpieces because everything pretty much was after this film...
The 1956 one is a lot better imo this one is just meh
@@annalarose5392 I totally disagree - this one is considered by most film critics to be the superior one.
The 1956 film is considered to be a remake despite "featuring a significantly different plot and script," that from Wikipedia. That article also includes this snippet:
"In the book-length interview Hitchcock/Truffaut (1967), in response to fellow filmmaker François Truffaut's assertion that aspects of the remake were by far superior, Hitchcock replied, 'Let's say the first version is the work of a talented amateur and the second was made by a professional.'"
I myself have no comparison to contribute at this point as it's been decades since I've seen the 1956 film, and I watched this one for the first time tonight. I thought it was great, especially the fact that the ever creepy Peter Lorre plays a major role.
@@josephjohnson9805 This was actually regarded as one of his best British films. It's Peter Lorre's first english speaking role after he fled Nazi Germany.
The 1956 remake is ok but James Stewart is not Peter Lorre.
I'd give this version the edge over Hitch's 1956 remake, simply because it has Peter Lorre!
Similarly, I prefer the 1937 version of KING SOLOMON'S MINES to the 1950 version because it has Paul Robeson...
I agree I like this version better simply because Peter Lorre is in it . He has a good role in this.
I think Peter Lorre's first movie (Black and white) is called "M".(It means murderer)
@@annchurchill2638 That's right it was his film debut & it made him world famous as the child murderer. He filmed in Germany where he made his first films til 1933 Hitchcock saw Peter Lorre in "M".
@@winggullseagull1230 I like the moment in M when he's talking to a kid, takes out a knife and uses it to peel an orange!
Peter Lorre is fabulous in this movie
So true !
Priceless shots of pre-war London. Those two bullet holes in the open door gave the villain's final hiding place away, in the closing minutes.
Isn't it rather the chimes of his watch? (very attenuated in the part of the movie)
I much prefer this version to Hitchcock's own remake, probably because of Peter Lorre.
Peter Lorre just needs to smile to look sinister. Or something. Sad, maybe. What character.
Thanks, never seen the original, only the remake with Jimmy Stewart and Doris Day!
Very good
Hitchcock the master
Thanks for this! I’ve only seen the remake with Doris Day. For sure this is Hitchcock. So suspenseful! It’s not a given that everything will be perfect in the end. And that futuristic blond streak in Peter Lorre’s hair…what a maniacal twist!
What a magnificent movie!👍
Excellent
Hitchcock 'remade' this film, with many changes in plot, in 1956 starring Jimmy Stewart & Doris Day. The assassination attempt in the Albert Hall is reminiscent of a scene in his, The 39 Steps
I find your observations fascinating. Where might I subscribe to your newsletter?
Peter Lorre with his little musical watch. Note how much use Hitchcock makes out of the watch as it throws off the mother's timing at the match and the daughter scowls at him "I'm NOT a little girl." The Hitchcock creed is if you put a musical watch or a little enamel pin in the movie you make it come alive within the story.
Peter Lorre.. always liked him!
The visit to the dentists office is classic Hitchcock.
Yes. Though I myself never like going to see my dentist. He's always looking "down in the mouth". And he has the peculiar habit of whistling "The Yanks are Coming" before he does an extraction !
Hi 😅😅 this is one of my favorite 😮😮 🎬 movie Alfred Hitchcock is a genial director there's something mysterious in all his movies that make me shiver on my seat more please thanks 🎉🎉🎉 black and white is awesome 😮😮😮
Hichcock , an early sample of his talent
I always liked the idea that Hitchcock remade his own movie. I’m partial to the Jimmy Stewart, Doris Day version. I’m sure it only because it’s the movie I was first familiar wish.
Thanks for the upload, but please, for all that is holy, can we keep logos and "up next" bs off the last ten seconds of a suspense film? If YT cannot be constrained, give us ten seconds of dead air, rather than blocking the reunion of the family.
What a classic, I remember getting freaked out watching this as a teen.
Lorres best rolls were with Greenstreet and Bogart. At least a dozen films between them. Of course Casa Blanca and The Maltese Falcon legandary films made them movie legends.
Merci ;)
Me encantan estas peliculas son apasionantes
Interesting to see how much Hitchcock improved this first attempt 22 years later.
Improved ? I dont think so. This one is the true classic.
Thank you for the video it was very suspenseful and good good acting for that year in the 30s made around the time I was born I was born in 1934 what year was this was it 35 I can't see up above no it's 1934 I can see that wow so that's what was going on when I was born not bad for that year I'm 89 now89 years ago they did okay
Este é um filmaço; tem que ser assistído calmamente, talvez, no silêncio da madrugada.
...sim, tem filmes que tem até horário pra assistir, esse é um deles..., bom domingo...
Thank you
Louis (about 2:20) seems to be Pierre Fresnay (Marius in Marcel Pagnol's trilogy) ! Quelle bonne surprise ! Merci pour tous ces excellents films sous-titrés
Fresnay was used by Noel Coward as the lead in a musical comedy around this time
@@ausbrum You made me discover that it was Conversation Piece with Yvonne Printemps, many thanks :)
The ‘husband’ and ‘wife’ have a ‘flair’ one doesn’t see with most ‘spouses.’

You can really see the influence of German Expressionism in these early Hitchcock films.
i thought the young girl..child..was very very good
Good Evening..... ! 🎩🕸️🎥🎭🎬🎻🗡️👀💤
Black & White Movies Are The Best ❤
So clever was mr Hitchcock ❤
I love Hichcock!!! See the movie with the chat is awesome!! VEry good idea!!!
Glad to hear that!! Thanks!
Lorre, a social democrat and close friend of Brecht, a marvellous Weimar actor who could not translate across to Hollywood. He was sentenced to be type cast as a European of criminal persuasions, at once comical and menacing. Hitchcock plumbs some of Lorres depths. Many thanks for a gem of a flic!
40:35 ~ the phone slipped off my bed; then I heard Peter Lorre say... 😂😂😂
Medal Free
Turns into 'The Siege of Sidney Street' near the end.
They go on with the concert after the assassination attempt. LOL
Loved when he was being hypnotised. Couldn’t stop laughing and it was beautifully filmed . Amazing again Hitchcock .film clip I’ll never forget . Thank you 🙏 again CCC ❤ 1st Class
WOULD YOU HAPPEN TO KNOW IF ALFRED HITCHCOCK MADE A CAMEO APPEARANCE IN THIS MOVIE?
@@comicsfix8460 he usually does
@@comicsfix8460 @ 33 mins approx as a bus goes by with Isle Of Man ad on its side. Literally, blink and you'll miss it! He's only onscreen for a second or two.
Although not as evident in this film, Peter acted with his entire body. Watch his English films, and watch his hands! They are never at rest. Lighting his cigarette; popping a piece of popcorn; repositioning a glove. Peter was the most camera aware actor ever. If someone stole a scene, they had to steal it from him. It was always his scene. Only his best friend Humphrey stood a chance. But I figure Peter decided when.
and the young girl lived happily ever after...
with only a few problems.

I like how the British police has to go for weapons since no policeman is armed. We all knew that the first one was marching to death.
Love the ending, at 1:04:45, where there always seems to be time for a “cuppa”-even in the midst of a gunfight. So very British.
Qual é o nome de um filme que o casal empresta dinheiro de um ajiota.
Wow! Much has changed in drama spy thrillers over the past 89 years! And, fortunately, Hitch was better by the end of his career than at the first (as this pedantic flick illustrates).
Disagree heartily!
Hitches 2nd go at this was with James Stewart & Doris Day🎬🤩💪🇬🇧
Gracias por estas películas con subtítulos en español.

And of course those bug eyes voice made it work.
