Hollywood Classics

The Man Who Knew Too Much:
A Frenchman who befriends a vacationing family is shot through the heart during a dance with the young mother. Before dying, he whispers a secret...This unusually fine dramatic story, filled with twists and turns, breathless chase scenes and superb acting, so appealed to Hitchcock that he remade it 21 years later.

Secret Agent:
Made in 1936, this World War I story features clever Hitchcockian twists. When a British soldier returns home, he discovers that he has been claimed dead by the British government. What's more, they ask him to assume another name to hunt down a particularly nasty German agent in Switzerland. Stars John Gielgud, Peter Lorre and Madeleine Carroll.
