Foreign Correspondent

Mike and Dan share their similar reactions to Hitchcock's 1940 espionage thriller: Why aren't more people talking about this movie?  A Hitchcock film that sometimes feels as if it were directed by Howard Hawks, Foreign Correspondent is a terrific film that Mike and Dan urge their listeners to see. Adjusting for scale, it's Hitchcock's most expensive film, his Mission Impossible, but also one that has delicate moments to complicate the terrific special effects set-piece in the third act. During their conversation, the guys mention The 39 Steps, North by Northwest, The Lady Vanishes, but also The Turn of the Screw, Rosemary's Baby, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and The Little Foxes.  So climb out of that high hotel window and walk the ledge into our room. We promise it'll be fun.   Please subscribe to the show wherever you get your podcasts and follow us on YouTube, Twitter and Letterboxd.
