An American family on holiday in Marrakesh stumble into an assassination plot at London's Albert Hall.
Leisurely, surprisingly laborious and indulgent Hitchcock remake of his own 1934 original (qv), with varied locations and a good star teaming of James Stewart and Doris Day, but otherwise the best scenes were those from the original anyway.
