The 2160P image (with High Dynamic Range - HDR10) is very impressive on my system. I can't speak to the colors which lean brown - similar to the original DVD, but there are also scenes where blue tends to dominate. The deeper, richer, colors are head turning - notably with the gardens and orchestra. There is a fine layer of grain and occasional striking detail. Another substantial upgrade.

It is likely that the monitor you are seeing this review is not an HDR-compatible display (High Dynamic Range) or Dolby Vision, where each pixel can be assigned with a wider and notably granular range of color and light. Our capture software is simulating the HDR (in a uniform manner) for standard monitors. This should make it easier for us to review more 4K UHD titles in the future and give you a decent idea of its attributes on your system. So our captures may not support the exact same colors (coolness of skin tones, brighter or darker hues etc.) as the 4K system at your home. But the framing, detail, grain texture support etc. are, generally, not effected by this simulation representation.

NOTE: 54 more more full resolution (3840 X 2160) 4K UHD captures, in lossless PNG format, for Patrons are available HERE

We have reviewed the following 4K UHD packages recently: Rope (software uniformly simulated HDR), Frenzy (software uniformly simulated HDR), American Graffiti (software uniformly simulated HDR), East End Hustle, Three Days of the Condor (software uniformly simulated HDR), Witness (software uniformly simulated HDR), Fascination (software uniformly simulated HDR), Lips of Blood (software uniformly simulated HDR), The Others (no HDR), It Came From Outer Space (software uniformly simulated HDR), Don't Look Now, Rosemary's Baby (software uniformly simulated HDR), The Last Wave (no HDR), The Train (software uniformly simulated HDR), The Trial (software uniformly simulated HDR), The Walkabout (software uniformly simulated HDR), Black Magic Rites, The Night of the Hunted (software uniformly simulated HDR), The Rape of the Vampire (software uniformly simulated HDR), Gorgo (software uniformly simulated HDR), Akira Kurosawa's Dreams (software uniformly simulated HDR),  The Man From Hong Kong (software uniformly simulated HDR), One False Move, The Tall T (software uniformly simulated HDR), Cold Eyes of Fear (software uniformly simulated HDR), Rules of the Game (no HDR), The Manchurian Candidate (software uniformly simulated HDR), After Hours, Rain Man (software uniformly simulated HDR), The Changeling (software uniformly simulated HDR), The Night of the Hunter (software uniformly simulated HDR), 12 Angry Men (software uniformly simulated HDR), Branded to Kill (no HDR), Picnic at Hanging Rock (software uniformly simulated HDR), Two Orphan Vampires, The Shiver of the Vampires, Drowning By Number (software uniformly simulated HDR), Serpico (software uniformly simulated HDR), Cool Hand Luke (software uniformly simulated HDR), The Seventh Seal (software uniformly simulated HDR), The Maltese Falcon (software uniformly simulated HDR).

Like the old Blu-ray on their 4K UHD, Universal offer the option of a DTS-HD Master 5.1 surround track (24-bit) to take advantage of the restored original Perspecta stereo sound mix -  the first time since its original release! Perspecta was a directional motion picture sound system, invented by the laboratories at Fine Sound Inc. in 1954. They also include a dual-mono option via a DTS-HD Master. "The Man Who Knew Too Much" has exotic sounds and some aggression but it is overshadowed brilliantly by the background score is by the incomparable Bernard Herrmann (Vertigo, Blue Denim, Beneath the 12-Mile Reef, Cape Fear, The Magnificent Ambersons, Taxi Driver, The Wrong Man, The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad, Mysterious Island, Jason and the Argonauts, Obsession, Hangover Square, etc. etc.) including the orchestration of Arthur Benjamin's Storm Cloud Cantata performed by London Symphony Orchestra and a couple of sequences with Doris Day singing Whatever Will Be, Will Be (Que Sera, Sera) which won the Academy Award for Best Original Song - plus We'll Love Again. The "Perspecta" was interesting and is, obviously, not as discreet as modern surround but I appreciated the directional ability. There are a host of European and a Japanese language DUBs as well as plenty of foreign subtitle options plus English and English (SDH.) Both the 4K UHD disc and included Blu-ray are region FREE.

Hitchcock's 1956 The Man Who Knew Too Much was the American remake of his own 1934 The Man Who Knew Too Much with Peter Lorre. The newer version was shot in large format VistaVision. In the Royal Albert Hall scenes, that is Bernard Herrmann conducting the London Symphony Orchestra with mezzo-soprano Barbara Howitt and chorus. And for the first time since its theatrical release we have the original Perspecta stereo sound mix! and it looks absolutely glorious in Universal's 4K UHD. The final film in The Alfred Hitchcock Classics 4K Ultra HD Collection #3 that I would preferably own in an individual release. The other two being Frenzy and Rope.
