The Man Who Knew Too Much

Alfred Hitchcock was riding high in 1956. In the last two years, he’d had hits with Dial M for Murder, Rear Window and To Catch a Thief and become a TV star on his own anthology series. He decided to fashion a bigger, bolder color remake of his 1934 film about a couple who get mixed up in an assassination plot. Their vacation goes sour in a classic “knife in the back” scene, and then it’s one darn thing after another. The stars: James Stewart of Rear Window, and a queen of the pop charts and box office, Doris Day, introducing the Oscar-winning song that became her signature tune, “Que Sera Sera.” The recurring collaborators: writer John Michael Hayes, who’d done Dial M and Rear Window, and composer Bernard Herrmann, seen conducting the concert at Royal Albert Hall in a tour-de-force climax where the suspense is literally orchestrated to music. Catch it at TPR’s Cinema Tuesday series on June 6.

Earl Abel's
Located at Broadway and Hildebrand, this iconic San Antonio restaurant was enjoyed by generations for its fried chicken, pies, breakfasts and other comfort food. It opened in 1933 but was displaced in 2006 by the construction of a luxury condo tower. New owners kept the SA favorite going in two new locations but finally threw in the towel last year due to post-pandemic pressures.
