FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT (Robert Cummings, Laraine Day, Herbert Marshall, George Sanders, Robert Benchley; directed by Alfred Hitchcock)
Review: “No one but Hitchcock would dare to whip up a picture like this and for those who can take their sensationalism without batting a skeptical eye it should be high-geared entertainment.” —New York Times
Trivia: When the shipwreck sequence was shot, a special tub within the studio tank had to be built for Herbert Marshall, who couldn’t swim because he only had one leg (he’d lost a leg in combat in World War I) . —imdb.com
Quote: “I came 4,000 miles to get a story. I get shot at like a duck in a shooting gallery, I get pushed off buildings, I GET the story, and then I’ve got to shut up!”
