You can divide Hitchcock's "Foreign Correspondent" in two distinct sections. The first part is a fun romantic comedy followed by a dramatic socio-political thriller. Almost half-way through our protagonist, played by youthful Joel McCrea, attends a bustling political rally. McCrea notices his friend, an aged ambassador. At this point a mysterious photographer is seen... and in his possession - a gun!. What results is a memorable and exciting film, almost seen as an experiment in camera usage and production tools.out of
