With The Man Who Knew Too Much, Alfred Hitchcock remade his own 1934 film of the same name in a broader, more expansive version in color. The tense psychological undertones of the earlier film are toned down, and instead we get what appears to be a colorful piece of entertainment – or so it seems.

James Stewart and Doris Day star as an American couple whose son is kidnapped during a trip to Morocco. Day revealed her dramatic talent in the role, and Danish actor Mogens Wieth appears in a small role as an ambassador.
