Review of Foreign Correspondent (1940) by Patryk C — 18 Oct 2012
A serious Hitchcock gem, which uncovers the controversial theme of Nazi conspirators during World War II, and does it with the most exquisite visual quality. The story is well-written, and doesn't fail to astound with it seriousness and very engaging dialogue-driven sequences.
Joel McRea gives his most spectacular performance as the American journalist, who takes the job as a foreign correspondent in Europe and is soon on a trail of perfectly dangerous criminal, who are always one step ahead of their peace-loving enemies.
It's an unforgettable showcase of some of the most magnificent set pieces in the Golden Era of Hollywood. From the streets of London, thorough tranquil countrysides and windmills, to intense in-flight scenes, the movie's eye-popping visuals will be forever remembered as one of the Hitchock's finest.
It's amusing, interesting, thrilling - as any great suspense film should be.
