The Man Who Knew Too Much (1934)

If you think British humor is hard to read, try reading the characters' lips in this 72-year-old movie. It features deadpan baddie Peter Lorre and climaxes in a shootout with hostages against the police. The plot is marginally suspenseful and the acting has its moments -- such as Edna Best in the music hall, torn between two courses of action. An early Hitchcock classic but the lighting and sound are fairly muddy. Three stars.
