Abstract
Review of The Man Who Knew Too Much (1934) - Criterion Collection (Blu-ray, USA, 2013)
Since it's from Criterion, there are some choice extras. These include a great interview with Guillermo del Toro, who, before he became a world-class director of horror and fantasy films, got his start as a [ALFRED HITCHCOCK] aficionado and scholar. Del Toro makes a compelling case for this film being the one in which Hitchcock became Hitchcock, "master of suspense" and cinematic brand. There's also both parts of a two-part Brit TV special on Hitchcock from 1972, when the director returned to his homeland to make Frenzy.
