FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT


 "FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT" (1940)

MY THOUGHTS ... I watched this movie for the first time yesterday, and I was very impressed by it on a number of levels. The screenplay and the acting are just excellent! Once again, an Alfred Hitchcock film had me totally captivated until the end. This one is totally worth the watch!
SYNOPSIS: On the eve of World War II, a young American reporter tries to expose enemy agents in London.
STARRING: Joel McCrea, Laraine Day, Herbert Marshall, George Sanders and Edmund Gwenn.
SCREENPLAY BY: This film had an unusually large number of writers: Robert Benchley, Charles Bennett, Harold Clurman, Joan Harrison, Ben Hecht, James Hilton, John Howard Lawson, John Lee Mahin, Richard Maibaum, and Budd Schulberg, with Bennett, Harrison, Hilton and Benchley the only writers credited in the finished film. It was based on Vincent Sheean's political memoir "Personal History" (1935).
DIRECTED BY: Alfred Hitchcock
ACADEMY AWARDS: Nominated for 6 Academy Awards and won none of them.
OTHER AWARDS: It was also nominated for 1 award by the National Board of Review, but also lost.
