Movie Reviews of Foreign Correspondent
Movie Review: Foreign Correspondent
Summary: 5 Stars
Unsung Hitchcock thriller is outstanding, his first to deal directly with the new war in Europe. Bolstered by a first-rate script (both James Hilton and Robert Benchley contributed much of the dialogue) and superb cast (with the suave yet treacherous Herbert Marshall particularly memorable) , "Correspondent" is consistently engrossing and entertaining, with some indelible set-pieces only this director could conjure up. Look for pivotal scenes involving umbrellas and windmills. Go, Johnny, go!Movie Review: Great Hitchcock movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great movie from the Master, this version (on Z1) is the best, because it's around 25 mn longer than the cut distributed in France. It has great humour, action, and amazing visual style (the windmill turning backwards, the murder-photographer, the plane crash, the escape under the umbrellas...). As in every of his work, Alfred Hitchcock creates a new magic with the cinema, with great depth and philosophy. A great movie maker behind a masterpiece!Movie Review: Did Hitchcock do this intentionally?
Summary: 5 Stars
Watch when Joel McCrea crawls back in after hanging outside the mill window,to avoid discovery by the kidnappers.In the very next scene,is what appears to be a caricature of an infamous WW II face an intentional trick of Hitchcock's camera, or just a carpenter's coincidence? This seems to be obvious, but am wondering if I am just seeing things?! Classic early Hitchcock spy suspense, with a superb cast!Movie Review: Terrific Hitchcock
Summary: 5 Stars
Joel McCrea known for his great work with directer Preston Sturges stars here with Laraine Day. McCrea plays it like no other can. They both give charming performances similar to the 2 actors in 'Young and Innocent'. Hitchcock stages some wonderful scenes including a plane crash. If you love the 'Hitchcock Way' of film making, like myself, this is a must.Movie Review: 3.5 stars out of 4
