James Stewart and Doris Day star in the international thriller The Man Who Knew Too Much directed by Alfred Hitchcock. While vacationing in Morocco, Ben and Jo McKenna are suddenly immersed in a dangerous situation after a French spy dies in Ben's arms. Discovering that their son has been kidnapped and taken to England, the McKennas are caught up in a nightmare of espionage, assassinations and terror. Soon, all of their lives hang in the balance as they draw closer to the truth that leads to a chilling climax in London's famous Royal Albert Hall. Featuring the Academy Award® winning song "Whatever Will Be, Will Be (Que Sera, Sera)" sung by Doris Day, this remake of his own 1934 film is an unforgettable classic from the Master of Suspense.

Hopefully this is a revelation in comparison to the blu ray.

MifuneFan · 06-20-2023, 08:07 PM

This is one of my fav. Hichcock films, so I'm glad it's finally coming to 4K.

MechaGodzilla · 06-20-2023, 08:08 PM

I definitely expect this to be one of the biggest improvements over the BD edition.

Winslow Leach · 06-20-2023, 08:34 PM

I actually prefer this one to the 1934 original. Wonderful Hitchcock classic.

Doris Day makes her 4K UHD debut

As others have stated, the improvement over the blu-ray should be significant given the current HD master is mediocre.

The movie features one of her most famous songs:

It won the Oscar for Best Song at the 29th Academy Awards (1957):

I do like the 30s one better, but I think this one is underrated! I think this is the best of the Volume 3 bunch.

Also, no spoilers, but the ending of this one is one of my all-time favorite movie endings.

Yup. At least, it's never been included on a prior BD or DVD. Looks to be a brand new featurette. Nice.

"Special thanks to Robert Harris...."

davidsal · 09-06-2023, 03:43 PM

It was not restored for the bluray. In fact, was panned by Robert Harris, who warned that the film was in the brink to be lost. So the title of the new featurette and the special thanks to Harris are indications that this could be an excellent edition.
