Should go in the Hitchcock Films folder, but there is no Create New Thread button there.
Anyway it's about a reporter assigned to go to England on the brink of war. Released in 1940. B&W.
Not sure if the writing is a nit or not, but it's an odd mix. There's a lot of humorous dialogue and some nice character work, as well as some clever scenes, but the overall plot feels dodgy, like politics wasn't the writer's area of expertise. Nothing I can definitively say is a nit, but maybe someone with a better knowledge of politics could.
Another oddity is that you would expect the Foreign Correspondent of the title to be the main character, but about halfway through a supporting character becomes the main character moving the plot along.
The one definite nit I spotted was when George Sanders' character was introduced he explained that his last name was ffolliet, two Fs, both small, and we see a nameplate saying "Scott ffolliet", but in the end credits he's listed as "Ffolliet".
Did the end credits person have a case of the scpipts? ;-)
