Foreign Correspondent is one of my favorite Alfred Hitchcock films, released in 1940 just as he was offically transitioning from Britain to Hollywood and of course also as World War II was on everyone's minds. It's got everything you could hope for from a classic Hitchcock including his trademark suspense, in this case of the wartime variety. Laraine Day as Carol Fisher infuses the film with romantic intrigue, though why her love interest is Joel McCrea's swashbuckling reporter and not George Sanders's much more dashing Ffolliott I'll never understand. Hitchcock proves himself all over again as the master of tension too, with several scenes so gripping I always catch myself holding my breath. Quite the exciting (and witty) European adventure, this one.
