This is Alfred Hitchcock's lavish
remake of his 1935 movie of the same name. It was filmed on location in Marrakech and in London
(one of only two occasions that Ms. Day visited England).
The thrills and spills
revolve
around the American McKenna family who accidentally become involved
in a series of international incidents while vacationing in French-Morocco. Murder, kidnap and suspense
follow after the father overhears an
assassination plot!
This movie would not have been the same if Doris had not managed to squeeze in
a couple musical interludes. The one that most will remember from
this film is featured in the scene where her character tearfully sings at the piano the Academy Award winning
song -- Que
Sera, Sera. Prior to this movie Hitchcock had not allowed a soundtrack
song to feature in any of his epic movies!
