Since I have always been a huge fan of Alfred Hitchock’s work, of course, I was really eager to check this flick . Eventually, it wasn’t one of his most famous movies and it was definitely not one of my favorite but it was still a pretty good picture.

Hitchcock's classic thriller stars Joel McCrea as Johnny Jones, a naïve New York reporter sent on assignment to Europe on the eve of World War II.

Fisher's daughter Carol (Laraine Day) lends a hand as Jones races to expose the story -- and tries to stay alive.

Movie Reviews (1151-1200) (50 movies items)

" Hitchcock spy thriller is excellent with one effective plane crash set piece and wonderful atmospheric moments like the abandoned windmill. The assassination sequence is also excellent. Downbeat ending that also predicted the bombing of London by a few days. "
