Review of Foreign Correspondent (1940) by Cecilia C — 13 Mar 2009
The second film Hitchcock made in America was really his attempt to help the WWII effort in England (it was made before America entered the war). Joel McCrea plays a naïve, inexperienced journalist who somehow gets caught in a spy ring.
By far, the best part of this one is the ending, among the windmills of (what is supposed to be) Holland. Unfortunately, Hitchcock never worked McCrea again?they made a good team. McCrea seemed comfortable with the material and Hitchcock used his character well.
Not one of the major Hitchcock films, but a must-see regardless.
