''The Girl Who Knew Too Much'' is a 1969 film starring Adam West as Johnny Cain, a nightclub owner and former freelance adventurer who is forced out of retirement when a crime syndicate boss is murdered in his nightclub and investigations lead into unexpected areas. It was the final film of director Francis D. Lyon and United Pictures Corporation. The film co-stars Nancy Kwan, Nehemiah Persoff, Robert Alda, Patricia Smith, David Brian, and noted jazz musician Buddy Greco as nightclub entertainer Albert "Lucky" Jones. Its melodramatic promotional tagline was: "You have to be crazy or in love — to take on the syndicate!" The film was intended to be a vehicle for Adam West to escape his Batman stereotype by playing a cynical, hard-edged tough guy. The movie's dialogue is typified by a scene between West's Cain and the boozy Mrs. Grinaldi played by Smith: :Mrs. Grinaldi: "And what do ''you'' do for a living, Mr. Cain?" :Cain: "I kill people, Mrs. Grinaldi." ''The Girl Who Knew Too Much'' was not a box office success in theatrical release, but became a staple of late-night showings on WCBS-TV and other television stations in the early 1970s. However, its first home video release came on May 28, 2013, on Blu-ray and DVD.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Girl Who Knew Too Much - Blu-Ray )〕 ==See also== * List of American films of 1969 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Girl Who Knew Too Much (1969 film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
