Brilliant character actor Peter Lorre (1904-1964) born in Hungary of Jewish descent. Having already gained fame for his performance in 1934 German film M directed by Fritz Lange, Lorre's first English language film was Alfred Hitchcock's The Man Who Knew Too Much. At the time Lorre was living in London, having left Germany to escape the Nazi rise in power. He learned his English lines phonetically. American films Mad Love & Crime & Punishment soon followed as well as some iconic horror film performances

#Themanwhoknewtoomuch Esperaba un poco más. Muy flojita aunque James Stewart está en su nivel.

The man who knew too much (Hitchcock 1956)
After many years, I watched it again.
This is a great scene! The rest of the thriller seemed a bit slow at times, but that has nothing to do with the quality of it. (probably it's me)

PS James Stewart was one of the best actors of his era. No discussion.

PS spoiler alert, this scene is almost at the end of the movie
