Plot

An American reporter uncovers spies in Europe on the eve of war.

Sinekatalog’s take

Hitchcock's pre-war spy thriller sends a reporter across Europe with great set pieces, including a windmill and an assassination in the rain. Jaunty and thrilling, with a rousing wartime finale.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
