Foreign Correspondent (1940)
Classic Movie Series
“Hitchcock's espionage thriller is a thoroughly enjoyable affair, complete with some of his most memorable set pieces.”
- Geoff Andrew, Time Out
“One of two films directed by Hitchcock in 1940, Foreign Correspondent was just the beginning of his rise in American cinema.”
- David Ehrlich, IndieWire
“Director Alfred Hitchcock, whose unmistakable stamp the picture bears, has packed about as much romantic action, melodramatic hullabaloo, comical diversion and illusion of momentous consequence as the liveliest imagination could conceive.”
- Bosley Crowther, New York Times
SYNOPSIS: Crime reporter John Jones (Joel McCrea) is turning in nothing but dull copy. His editor, unhappy with his work, hopes a change of scenery will be the thing Jones needs to get back on track. Re-assigned to Europe as a foreign correspondent, Jones is very much out of his element. When he stumbles on a spy ring, he feels ill-equipped to unravel the truth alone and he seeks help from a beautiful politician's daughter (Laraine Day) and an urbane English journalist (George Sanders).
