Foreign Correspondent
(1940)
Directed by Alfred
Hitchcock this film stars Joel McCrea, Laraine Day, Herbert Marshall
and George Sanders. In August 1939 an American reporter is hot on the
heals of a conspiracy involving enemy spies in Britain.
This is a fairly run
of the mill thriller filmed in the opening months of WW2 that has
more than a slight hint of propaganda about it. There might be one or
two elements of the plot which do not entirely make sense but in
general this is a watchable if slightly slow thriller. Mostly the
direction is unremarkable apart from the sea plane sequence at the
end which provides a really good action set piece.
3/5
