Story Synopsis:
Based on the novel “Watch That Man” by Robert Farrar, The Man Who Knew Too Little is a hilarious one-joke romp through the dangerous streets of London. Dimwitted aspiring actor Wallace Ritchie (Bill Murray) is sent off to enjoy his birthday alone when he shows up at his brother’s (Peter Gallagher) doorstep on the evening of an important business dinner. Ritchie believes his brother has set him up in an interactive theatre event. Beginning with a dead-serious telephone call intended for a hit man, Ritchie can’t believe how believable the make-believe seems!
