But what fascinated me most was ‘The Man Who Knew Too Much,’ released  in India during the late 1950s. This is the only Hitchcock movie with a song. The song  ‘Que Sera Sera’ (Whatever will be, will be)  sung by Doris Day has not been outdated by the ravages of time nor its impact  abated. Written by Livingston and Evans, the song received the 1956 Academy Award for the best original song. The song was an instant hit in the USA, the UK and equally popular elsewhere. Doris Day made it the signature-song for her popular TV shows. Popularity was such that ‘Que Sera Sera’ was the name given to the first US aircraft which landed at South Pole in 1956. A duet in the Hindi movie ‘Pukar’, released in 2000 has s...

One is about www.dullmensclub.com and another about Helen Walne. I went to dullmens club in my mobile and now got the opportunity to come to the site in my computer. (seeing sites in mobile is dull lol - BAD) In her virtual vanity essay (Quirks) Helne Walne who lives in Capte Town, South Africa says when she's not goggling, she enjoys wining, dining and running with her dogs. It was her dream to see her name in lights: Perhaps an interview in National Geographic for her work with Rwanda's apes.

She, in a very light sense describes her success in googling for her name. If you get a chance...just read the article. It will be good i...
