James Stewart and Doris Day give magnificent performances as Ben and Jo McKenna, an American couple vacationing in Morocco, whose son is kidnapped and taken to England.

"14.4. 2024 Just like all those greatest masterpieces we are all very familiar with, also "The Man Who Knew Too Much" works as a pleasant entertainment film, but it doesn't suffer from the lack of thought-provoking content.

"The editing, cinematography and music create an absolutely spellbinding film and elevates the material significantly, as does Doris Day's fantastic, multi-layered performance. "
