Funny / The Man Who Knew Too Much

Go To

Both films

  • In both films, the scene where two characters (Bob and Clive in 1934, Ben and Jo in 1956) attend a service at a church that seems to be involved with the plot, and during a hymn, sing their observations to one another to avoid suspicion. Especially with Doris Day's powerful voice being quite startling to the people in front of them.

1934 film

  • This chair fight scene from the 1934 original.

1956 film

  • The last lines.
    Ben: I'm sorry we were gone so long, but we had to go and pick up Hank!
    • To elaborate, Ben and Jo had gotten a lead on Hank's location. So they'd left their friends (who hadn't even known about Hank's kidnapping) in their hotel suite. By the time the McKennas have returned to the hotel. All their friends had fallen asleep while waiting up for them.
  • "You English intellectuals will be the death of us all!"
