    It's amazing that Peter Lorre didn't know English yet in the 1934 version of Alfred Hitchcock's The Man Who Knew Too Much. He just learned his lines phonetically.

    The Man Who Knew Too Much (1934) A husband and wife get too friendly with a British spy, and when he's murdered at a party their daughter is kidnapped over some information they might have about a political assassination. Peter Lorre is the scar-faced villain. Alfred Hitchcock remakes it in 1956
