So today I watched "The man who knew too much (1956 version)". I liked it, it was a pretty good 50's thriller.
The film has a very potent degree of paranoia about it, and it manages to hold this all the way through. Aditionally, James Stewart (the actor who plays the protagonist) manages to convey all the courage, conviction and heartbreak of a man that has lost his child and would do anything to get him back brilliantly. In fact, that's one of the best things about this film; you are really able to feel for the couple's loss throughout and that serves in making it all the more thrilling.
