The Man Who Knew Too Much**
GB 1934. Gaumont British. 75m. bw
A couple on holiday in the Alps have their daughter kidnapped by political assassins, and so they take action for themselves.

Written by: Charles Bennett, D.B. Wyndham Lewis, Emlyn Williams, from a story by Edwin Greenwood, A.R. Rawlinson.
Producer: Ivor Montagu.
Director: Alfred Hitchcock.
Starring: Leslie Banks, Edna Best, Peter Lorre, Nova Pilbeam, Frank Vosper, Hugh Wakefield, Pierre Fresnay.
Photography: Curt Courant.
Music: Arthur Benjamin.
