Classic Hitchcock. It is 1939 and Johnny Jones, a naive police reporter, is sent by his even more naive boss to cover a "crime" story that's unfolding in Europe: the potential outbreak of a second world war. Unprepared for the dangerous political landscape he's entering, Johnny manages to land smack in the middle of a spy ring that is masquerading as a peace organization.

Notes
Theatrical release: August 16, 1940.
Hitch onscreen: Hitchcock appears as a pedestrian reading a newspaper passing by Joel McCrea.
Hitchcock used the haunting site of an old mill in FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT and two previous films, YOUNG AND INNOCENT and THE MANXMAN.
FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT was independently produced by Walter Wagner and therefore is sometimes hard to find on video.
This was Herbert Marshall's second Hitchcock film. The first was MURDER!
Gary Cooper turned down the lead role, refusing to act in a thriller.
Hitchcock's eccentric marriage proposal to Alma was written into the script.
