Foreign Correspondent a tall
tale Of intrigue in the highest places,
is the picture which grew out OF

It grew 50 far out Of 1t, indeed,
that there is no faint resemblance
to the original, but the maddest
Sheehan addict will be 100 per cent
satisfied with the substitute. Hitch
cock also knows q good story. and
more tricks Of telling it excitingly
than any other director alive.
Otherwise, why would the audience
yesterday have let out that dramatic
whoop Of delight?
Foreign Correspondent" is the
story of an energetic, fearless, high
minded, not always bright young
American reporter sent to Europe to
find out when and where the world
will burst into flames. Fate plants
him in the middle of a dirty plot
by a group Of dastards to capture
the peace living head of a small
nation who blocks the road to war
between two countries that could
only be England and Germany. even
II they are not named. The official
Is kidnapped, during a fake assassi-
nation, flown to England and held
prisoner, while the spy ring tries to
torture out of him an important
treaty clause. Always the young
reporter is lowering just on the
threshold of solving the rings dirty
scheme, rescuing the elderly paciflst,
getting his story, and perhaps pre-
venting war.
An ordinary cops-and-robbers
narrative it sounds. but wait-and
not too long-to see what Hitchcock
does with it. When the plot begins
to run thin, the situation to look
artificial, the character to falter. he
resorts to that suspense trick OF his
which creates a torment OF excite
ment. There are a dozen such. one
in an old Dutch mill in which the
young reporter seems destined either
to solve the plot in the first reel or
get killed in the effort. but which
ends up as only minor exhibition
of Hitchcock's skill in extricating
himself from a thing like that.
Finest Of the pure suspense Sc
uuences is that in which for 10 min
utes the audience is kept tortured
with the fear the hero is going to
be pushed from cathedral tower
by the spies murder specialist. 1t
leaves one about as limp as the
corpse which finally lands at the
foot of the tower.
The Hitchcock trick Of topping
every exquisitely built climax with
as exquisite a bit Of understatement
Is used as effectively In Foreign
Correspondent" as 1t was in THE
Lady Vanishes" The best of the
lot are not quotable on the ground
Of spelling some Of the surprise to
which Hitchcock resorts when he
feels the strain should be abated for
q few minutes by hilarious laugh.
