A visually arresting film with a nod to the quirky that just can't be beat in terms of the bizarre.

Reviews for Journey Into Fear
First-rate noir thriller that was somewhat compromised by post-production tampering.
Unfortunately, RKO cut it almost as badly as The Magnificent Ambersons, which was in production at the same time, and what survives is basically a lot of claustrophobic atmosphere and some fair-to-middling suspense.
