- Summary:
- "Through the lens of Murray Pomerance's deft and multifaceted analysis, the film proves to involve musicality, gendered power, and cultural strangeness in deeply evocative and perplexing ways. It is also a strange and fabulous story of doubling, spiritual presence, and the intricacies of social organisation. No one who loves Hitchcock will want to miss this book; and no one who thinks of The Man Who Knew Too Much as a charming escapade will want to escape confronting its darkest nuances as brought to light in this thrilling, continually probing, and excitingly suggestive book."--Publisher description.
