    THE MAN WHO KNEWED TOO MUCH

    The Profound Idiots bring you their irreverent spoof of Alfred Hitchcock's suspense thriller, "The Man Who Knew Too Much" starring James Stewart and Doris Day. Which means, if you've been waiting to hear a parody of it, you've been waiting since 1956. An American couple and their little boy vacation in Morocco when a chance encounter with a mysterious Frenchman turns their lives upside down. The Frenchman is murdered in the marketplace and dies revealing that an international assassination is to take place in London and to inform the police to investigate "Ambrose Chappell." Their boy is abducted by a seemingly nice English couple who befriended them and they're warned not to go to the authorities with the dead man’s information - or the boy will be killed. This sets them on a course to London determined to hunt down the kidnappers by themselves. With John Bell, Diana Helen Kennedy, Bob Greenberg, Jack West, Christian Neuhaus, Andrea Richardson and Karen Corrado. And introducing Skippy as "Humphord The Camel." Written and directed by Jack West. Music from the score. Additional Music by Kevin MacLeod and Alexander Ustyuzhanin. “Streets of Cairo” by James Thornton. Performed by Paul Eakin’s Sadie Mae Carousel Band Organ.
