The Films of Alfred Hitchcock: The Man Who Knew Too Much

BBC One
on BBC One London

A feature film directed by the master of suspense in which an English family suddenly find themselves involved in the unscrupulous world of spies and counter espionage.
One of Hitchcock's favourite films, it was unavailable for many years because the copyright was acquired for the 1955 remake. The BBC is grateful to Mr Hitchcock for allowing it to be shown this season.
Starring Leslie Banks, Peter Lorre, Edna Best, Nova Pilbeam
