Alfred Hitchcock parody
Diana Helen Kennedy for Jo McKenna
In Hitchcock's 1956 film, "The Man Who Knew Too Much," the role was played by Doris Day. She's a 1950's housewife. She's demure, but sharp. I'd like someone who can evoke Doris Day through their voice acting. But this, being a comedy, requires a range beyond that: I need you to sing fairly well but belt out "Que Sera, Sera" in the worst way possible. Can you do a mock impersonation of Jimmy Stewart and do an over the top goofy Doris Day? Great! Then you were born to be my Jo McKenna!
(very earnest and heartfelt, a la "Doris Day") Oh, Ben... All I need do is look at Hank's little face and it embraces my soul with so much joy and happiness. My heart knows it's worth everything. Oh, darling, there's nothing that would be more satisfying in life than if we could have another child to love and cherish and play a role in helping him grow up to be the kind of person we'd be proud of, just like Hank!
Over the top parts:
1. (a la "Jimmy Stewart") Hallo! Whah - whah - whadd'ya know?... Well, golly gee, fella! Whaddya make of that?
(a la "Charles Boyer") Come weeth me to ze Casbah!2. (kooky Doris Day) Wow, am I relaxed! Now, c'mon, doctor! Your patient is growing impatient! (seductive) You like it when I talk a blue streak?
(Suspicious of Mr. Bernard, Jo questions her husband. A la "Doris Day") How much do you know about Mr. Bernard? He knows you're an American living in Indianapolis, Indiana. A doctor at the Good Samaritan. You have a garden with snails, a wife, a boy who can spell hemoglobin. You went to a medical convention in Paris. Stopped at Rome, Lisbon, Casablanca. That you once served in North Africa with an Army field Hospital--
