  15. Actually, Jim, in the matter of HItchcock remaking Man Who Knew Too Much,
  16. you're concurring with the conventional wisdom that the remake was a pro-
  17. tracted error.  I've noticed the opinion's been changing in some quarters,
  18. in recent years.  I myself have gone up, down and up on the Stewart-Day
  19. remake, but have such vague memories of the original, I wouldn't presume
  20. to be firm about a comparative opinion myself.  And since the last time I
  21. couldn't stand Day warbling "Que Sera," I've gotten an appreciation both
  22. of her acting and her singing that's much more respectful.  So I don't
  23. know what my reaction will be next time I see the remake...  Jeff Clark
