Alfred Hitchcock Movie: **** The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956)

 Doris Day and Jimmy Stewart star as a couple who happen to be in the wrong place when someone is murdered.  The victim whispers something to Dr. Benjamin McKenna (Stewart) and asks him to tell the authorities.  He and his wife Josephine Conway McKenna (Day) are then in a race to find their son.  They become entangled in an international espionage case when their son is kidnapped to keep them quiet.  They follow their son to England when they realize he has been taken by a British couple who was watching him and they have also disappeared.  They do not tell the authorities but decide to intervene themselves.  They uncover a plot to murder an ambassador.  They are successful in thwarting the plot--but still have not located their son.  They go to the embassy where the think their son is being held, and Conway (Day) who is a famous singer, sings very loudly.  That song, "Que Sera Sera" won the Oscar for best song.
