11. In 1934, Alfred Hitchcock directed a suspense movie called 'The Man Who Knew Too Much'. He remade his own movie in 1956, this time starring James Stewart and Doris Day. Who originally played the parts taken by Stewart and Day?
From Quiz It's the Same, Only Different
Answer:
Leslie Banks and Edna Best
For some reason, Hitchcock changed the names of his lead characters from Lawrence to McKenna, and morphed the original daughter into a son. Of the two films, I prefer the 1956 version. By the time he remade his own film, Hitchcock had become an absolute master of suspense and it shows.
In the 1954 version, Doris Day, playing a singer (there's a surprise!), introduced the Jay Livingston/Ray Evans classic, 'Que Sera, Sera (Whatever Will Be, Will Be)'. The song plays an important part at the climax of the suspenseful plot.
Both versions are available on DVD, so you can decide for yourself which one is better.
