Summary: A husband and wife's holiday in Morocco goes horribly wrong when their son is kidnapped, leading them into a web of mystery and intrigue.

THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH is Hitchcock's remake of his own 1934 film of the same title. While vacationing in French Morocco, an American family becomes accidentally involved in a series of international incidents after the father overhears an assassination plot. Compared with its 1934 predecessor, this version is lavish, with a larger budget and a much bigger cast. While maintaining Hitchcock's fascination with an average Joe caught up in menacing events, the characters portrayed by Jimmy Stewart and Doris Day put a spin on the story that highlights the 1950s sensibilities that influenced the remake. Ben McKenna (Stewart), an American doctor, and his family stumble into the middle of an assassination plot while vacationing in Marrakech. When his son is kidnapped by the conspirators, McKenna must race against the clock to stop the murder and save his son's life. Stewart, as one might expect, gives a seamless performance as the average man thrown into exceptional circumstances. Day brings levity to the proceedings and performs the only musical number to ever appear in a Hitchcock film: "Que Sera, Sera," which would go on to win an Oscar and become a popular hit.
