In 1940, Alfred Hitchcock made his transition from the British film industry to
Hollywood. And it was quite a year: his first two American movies, Rebecca and Foreign Correspondent, were both nominated for the best picture
Oscar. Though Rebecca prevailed, Foreign
Correspondent is the more quintessential Hitch film. A full-throttle
espionage thriller, starring Joel McCrea as a Yank reporter sent to Europe to cover
the imminent war, it’s wall-to-wall witty repartee, head-spinning plot twists,
and brilliantly mounted suspense set pieces, including an ocean plane crash
climax with astonishing special effects. (1940, 120 mins)
