Story is essentially the old cops-and-robbers. But it has been set in a background of international political intrigue of the largest order.

It doesn't always proceed as smoothly as some of Hitchcock's best films, but it is never anything less than grandly entertaining.

Q Network Film Desk
This film contains one of Hitchcock's most famous set pieces -- an assassination in the rain -- but otherwise remains a second-rate effort, as immensely enjoyable as it is.

Rating: 4.5/5 --
It's such an entertaining film that it's almost possible to forget its didactic agenda, which is certainly part of the point.

Product Description:
Classic Hitchcock. It is 1939 and Johnny Jones, a naive police reporter, is sent by his even more naive boss to cover a "crime" story that's unfolding in Europe: the potential outbreak of a second world war. Unprepared for the dangerous political landscape he's entering, Johnny manages to land smack in the middle of a spy ring that is masquerading as a peace organization.
