While vacationing in Morocco, all-American couple Jimmy Stewart and Doris Day are befriended by a French spy. After witnessing his murder in a crowded marketplace, their young son is kidnapped by an older English couple. They follow the clues to London where they hope to find the boy without the police. Along the way, they end up foiling an assassination attempt on the Prime Minister at Albert Hall in the film's most exciting sequence. It has just about everything you would expect from Hitchcock at this point in his career: incredible camerawork, a tight plot and well-developed characters. I only wish he had not reworked an earlier story, or had chosen someone other than Doris Day for the female lead.
