At the beginning of The Man Who Knew Too Much (1934), Jill Lawrence (Edna Best) breaks all of the conventions of motherhood and being a wife. She openly flirts with another man in the company of her husband, and does not seem at all maternal towards her daughter Betty (Nova Pilbeam).

The movie so good that Alfred Hitchcock made it twice - The Man Who Knew Too Much. The first one was in 1934, and side by side with the 1956 version proves itself the ‘racier’ offering. I’m going to do a deep-dive this week into how & what it tells us about cinema reflecting society at both points
