The Girl Who Knew Too Much (1969)

Adam West Lost Classic NOW FOUND!

[10/10 · 28 February 2009]

How can you go wrong with a cast like this: Adam West, Nancy Kwan, Nehemiah Persoff, Robert Alda, Patricia Smith, Chick Chandler, Mark Roberts, George Neise and Buddy Greco (who not only acts, but sings the memorable theme song twice!) A very old 80s Video company called K&C Video released this film and I bought a brand new Beta print for $60! in 1980... It was shown a few times many years ago on local television but has never had a deserved DVD release. O.K. maybe it's not the best film Adam West ever made, but hey, he gets to have a lot of action scenes, drives a cool car, has some great scenes with Nehemiah Persoff as well as with the gorgeous Nancy Kwan. What more could you want? Intrigue, a catchy theme song, interesting locations and a cameo by David Brian all add up to an hour and a half of quite decent entertainment. I have watched this film so many times over the years that my poor Beta tape has had it! Please release this on DVD with a commentary by surviving cast members and maybe even a featurette. UPDATE May 28 2013 OLIVE FILMS released a fantastic print in both DVD and Blu Ray. I have the DVD version and I am very impressed.
