And can I get hold of a DVD of The Man Who Knew Too Much? Can I fuck! I was disappopinted but not altogether surprised not to get hold of Hall Bartlett’s Unchained - the film’s signature song has a completely independent existence and it’s not by all accounts (although I’ll be the judge when I get the chance) a particularly good film. But TMWKTM is Hitchcock, for fuck’s sake, and if it’s no Rear Window or North by North West it’s still pretty good stuff.

In response to marcello’s comment last Hallowe’en. It was her son she was singing to in the movie. She and Jimmy Stewart only had the boy, no daughter at all actually.

i’m sure on the haloscan comments we must have touched on:

a. the song’s ubiquity on the terraces

b. “we hope it’s chips, it’s chips” dalepack beefsteak advert of the early/mid 80s

which of these caused the other i’m unsure…

(She sings it as a sort of coded message)

It originally appeared in Hitchcock’s remake of The Man Who Knew Too Much, and the way she sings it in the film, alone and in tears, to the daughter she knows is being held hostage in the next room, is beyond heartbreaking…

And for a new generation (or two) it’s indelibly associated with the meteorite-heading-for-Springfield espisode of The Simpsons. I guess if you’re going to be fatalistic, you may as well be happy about it…
