The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956)

FILM4, 4.05PM ★★★★

 This is Alfred Hitchcock’s remake of his own 1934 film. Dr Ben Mckenna (James Stewart) and his wife Jo (Doris Day, three years after Calamity Jane) are forced to keep silent about a planned political murder. The jury’s out on which film is better, but perhaps the earlier black-and-white version is a shade more sinister than this excellent, glitzier take, which won an Oscar for the song Qué Será, Será.
