Reviews for Foreign Correspondent
One of the great espionage films, gleaming with suspense, atmosphere and sharp dialogue, and tautly directed by Alfred Hitchcock.

Into it Director Alfred Hitchcock, whose unmistakable stamp the picture bears, has packed about as much romantic action, melodramatic hullabaloo, comical diversion and illusion of momentous consequence as the liveliest imagination could conceive.

There is plenty to enjoy here, including some impressive sets, especially those used for a harrowing plane crash at sea and the interior of a Dutch windmill.

This film contains one of Hitchcock's most famous set pieces -- an assassination in the rain -- but otherwise remains a second-rate effort, as immensely enjoyable as it is.

highly entertaining with many great set pieces.

Hitchcock's espionage thriller is a thoroughly enjoyable affair, complete with some of his most memorable set pieces.
01/26/06
The film includes some of Hitchcock's finest set-pieces, including a secret hideout inside a windmill, a murder in broad daylight and a plane crash, even if the romantic subplot tends to slow things down a bit.

Apesar de politicamente relevante para sua época (mérito de Hitchcock), a urgência da trama se perdeu com o passar das décadas, e seus erros tornaram-se mais óbvios, como o forçado romance entre o par principal.
