Review title: Great Hitchcock? I don't think so!
Product review: A spy thriller set just before the start of World War II, "Foreign Correspondent" is definitely one of Alfred Hitchcock's lesser efforts. The storyline is very confusing. It is way too long (over two hours). The script is definitely not up to Hitch's usually witty level. I honestly can't say I followed the plot very well because the movie kept putting me to sleep.It is partially redeemed by some fine performances, notably Joel McCrea in the title role, George Sanders playing an uncharacteristically heroic part, and Herbert Marshall as the leader of a supposed pacifist group. Best of all is the terrific and very exciting climax, one of the best in the Hitchcock canon. If only the rest of the movie had lived up to the ending.
