J. R. Jones Chicago Reader Mar 29, 2007
Bava, who'd once shot films for Roberto Rossellini and Raoul Walsh, used black and white for the last time on this project, and with its mastery of the noir vocabulary it helped establish the giallo. Go to Full Review
Fernando F. Croce CinePassion Sep 6, 2009
The giallo gets its cinematic foundation in Mario Bava's wide-eyed "story of a vacation" Go to Full Review

Plot and coherence aren't really so important as atmosphere and style and thrills, and these things [the film] possesses in abundance. Go to Full Review

2/4
As expected, The Girl Who Knew Too Much has been infused with a compelling and thoroughly memorable sense of style that's ultimately revealed as the one bright spot within a film that's otherwise fairly interminable. Go to Full Review
Jeffrey M. Anderson Combustible Celluloid Apr 12, 2007
It's a bit plot-heavy for Bava, but it's still beautifully filmed. Go to Full Review

Audience Reviews

Draco S Nov 6, 2017 It is overall suspenseful and has some nicely photographed scenes but is brought down by the slow pacing and general overacting. See more
Kylo L Aug 12, 2017 A little choppy and occasionally hard to follow (and this is the dubbed version) but mostly enjoyable and good older movie. The actress was very like able too. See more
Luke W Jul 31, 2017 The Girl Who Knew Too Much is undoubtedly great. It's enlivened by the fine performances from the two leads and is absolutely brimming with style and energy. The gag at the end is in-keeping with Bava's work, but certainly doesn't lessen the impact of the more thrilling scenes that came before, or the air of grand mystery and excitement suggested by his excellent approach to editing, cinematography and design.
