		The Man Who Knew Too Much, starring James Stewart and Doris Day, is the 1955 remake of Alfred Hitchcock’s own 1934 version of the same movie.
		Stewart in particular is perfect as the slightly harried, small-town husband and father; Day’s performance as the singer who has given up her career adds a subtle note of tragedy to the otherwise picture-perfect family.
		Like the others, The Man Who Knew Too Much has obviously benefited from a first-class restoration job; the transfer here is superior to many DVD transfers of movies made twenty or thirty years later.

		Nine of the 12 Iraqi resistance groups are either anti-Saddam secular nationalists or Islamists who were savagely repressed by the former regime.
		Still, the elimination of Saddam and his sons opens the way for the emergence of a new generation of Iraqi nationalist leaders who may prove far more clever and popular than the widely hated old regime.
		Israeli commentator Ze'ev Schiff suggests the White House might offer Saddam a deal: a life prison sentence in exchange for a false confession that he had indeed made and hidden weapons of mass destruction, thus absolving Bush and VP Dick Cheney of the accusation of having made extravagant lies to whip up war against Iraq.

		According to New York public-relations man John Scanlon, who was hired by BandW's law firm to help discredit Wigand, "Wigand is a habitual liar, a bad, bad guy."

		Much of the humor and the tension in the movie come from Stewart and Day's status as foreigners, their typically Yankee forwardness and lack of cultural sensitivity.
		Despite a charming home-movie clip making the Hitchcock family look a lot like characters in the 1934 Man Who Knew Too Much and a few intriguing anecdotes about the difficulties of filming in Marrakech during Ramadan, most of the short documentary offers only well-worn generalities about Hitchcock's work and methods.
		Probably the most intriguing discussion comes from Bernard Herrmann's biographer Steven C. Smith, who describes the complex role of music in the movie and talks about composer Herrmann's decision to conduct Arthur Benjamin's "Storm Cloud Cantata" in the Albert Hall sequence rather than writing a new work of his own for that all-important scene.

		hesterton's Man who Knew Too Much is not the first "detective" who declined to bring malefactors to justice; but most of the others cannot involve the police because the victim will not prosecute, or because the villain cannot be proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
		Fisher is pale, weedy, and balding (presumably from the strain of Knowing Too Much); he is a member of the aristocracy, and therefore on a first-name basis with most of the people who run the British Empire just before WWI.
		Most of the crimes that he "investigates" occur on the great country estates of the rich and titled, and their results are communicated to Horne's friend and confidant, the writer Harold March (who is described as "the sort of man who knows everything about politics and nothing about politicians").

	THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH
		Hitchcock apparently liked this story so much he filmed it twice, early on in his career in 1934 and later at the height of his popularity with his favorite leading man. Though the basic story is the same, the location got more exotic, switching from the winter slopes to the desert of Morocco.
		Day is fantastic as the distraught mother who will do anything to get her son back.
		Hitchcock took a chance on her, not knowing whether the audience would accept her as one of his cool, blonde leading ladies, but her vocal talent, which is used as a major plot device, makes her presence indispensible and something other actresses of the time probably would not have been able to pull off.

		Ghigliotti, an expert in thermal imaging, was retained by the House Government Reform Committee last year to probe allegations that FBI agents--despite their vehement assertions to the contrary--had fired their weapons at members of the Branch Davidian sect, trapping helpless women and children inside the burning compound on April 19, 1993.
		Claire Ghigliotti believes that Congress cut her brother's funds because he got "too close to the truth." But a Government Reform Committee spokesman said Ghigliotti was defunded because the analyst repeatedly failed to produce what the staff considered a "scientific" report.
		As befit a man who had served his country honorably, Ghigliotti was entitled to a flag-draped casket, a flawlessly performed military ceremony and a decent plot of ground.

		Here Stewart is Hitch's trusty family man, with a talented wife and one child (just like the Hitchcock household), and while the episodic plot of Man Who Knew may travel from the African desert to London's West End, the story is about a marriage that is strong enough to endure colossal strain.
		Many observers at the time thought Day was an odd choice for the part of Jo, but she proves herself in the crucial scene where Stewart tells her that Hank has been kidnapped — it's one of the best dramatic moments in all of Hitch's films.
		DVD fans who are accustomed to some lush restorations may be disappointed with this release, but the damage is minor, and this is the best version of Man Who Knew to ever arrive on home video.
