The Man Who Knew Too Much
It’s a joke, you see, Jimmy Stewart plays a complete buffoon. Too bad Doris Day is a woman in a 50’s film and can’t do anything but call her man, even though she’s a world renowned superstar, and her hubby is a bumpkin country doctor.
It’s truly preposterous, she arrives everywhere before her husband, but she can’t do anything but call her man. Her own superstar name is erased, she’s just Mrs. McKenna, a mere appendix.
Ridiculous, Hitchcock remakes himself 22 years later.

This is my place for ramblings about sequences of images that exploit the human visual limitation know as persistence of vision.
