This time, Harry tracks down a revenge-obsessed murderess (Sondra Locke) while local mobsters are gunning for him.

The Man Who Knew Too Much

Thriller

An ordinary British couple vacationing in Switzerland suddenly find themselves embroiled in a case of international intrigue when their daughter is kidnapped by spies plotting a political assassination. This fleet and gripping film is the first of the early thrillers the Master of Suspense, Alfred Hitchcock, made during the fertile phase of his career spent at the Gaumont-British Picture Corporation. Besides affirming Hitchcock’s genius, it gave the brilliant Peter Lorre his first English-speaking role, as a slithery villain. With its tension and gallows humor, it’s pure Hitchcock, and it set the tone for such films as The 39 Steps and The Lady Vanishes.

But the more he listens to his recording, the more he come to believe that the noise he heard was not a tire blow-out, but, rather, a gunshot, and that the accident was an act of political assassination. With the help of an eyewitness (Nancy Allen, "RoboCop"), Travolta attempts to unravel the web that has been unwittingly spun around him and uncover the truth. John Lithgow ("The Manhattan Project") and Dennis Franz ("The Package") co-star with a score by the great Pino Donaggio ("Carrie") and gritty cinematography by Vilmos Zsigmond ("The Long Goodbye").
