"The length of a film should be directly related to the endurance of the human bladder." --Alfred Hitchcock
THURSDAY MOVIE CONNECTION. Every Thursday in 2012, I am connecting movies through actors.
In honor of Alfred Hitchcock's death on April 29, 1980, April is dedicated to Hitch, and all my favorites.

The Man Who Knew Too Much, 1956
Director: ALFRED HITCHCOCK
Stars: James Stewart, Doris Day
While vacationing in Morocco, Dr. Benjamin McKenna (Stewart) and his wife, Jo (Day), accidentally become involved in an assassination plot, and because of their knowledge (as in, they "know too much"), their son is kidnapped to keep them quiet. They follow the criminals to London, where they try to track them down and save their son, and maybe the ambassador set to be assassinated. All without the involvement of the police.
The Man Who Knew Too Much is so suspenseful, and so emotionally moving. When Jo finds out her son has been taken, I cry along with her every time! And when she sings "Que Sera, Sera" (which was written for this movie) at the end, I am a complete wreck.
