The Man Who Knew Too Much/Awesome

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Crowning Music of Awesome: The Storm Cloud Concerto, composed by Arthur Benjamin with words by D. B. Wyndham-Lewis. Hitchcock gave his favorite composer, Bernard Herrmann, the chance to write his own piece for the Albert Hall scene, and Herrmann simply took the music from the original film and made it longer, saying that was the only way he could improve upon it.
