An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Foreign Correspondent, the 1940 Alfred Hitchcock ("Directed by Alfred Hitchcock, the man who gave you 'Rebecca'") World War II (WWII) spy espionage newspaper journalism romantic suspense thriller ("The thrill spectacle of the year!"; "The dramatic conflicts... of today's boldest adventurers!"; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; about an American newspaper reporter stationed in London on the eve of World War II, and he tries to expose Nazi spies) starring Joel McCrea, Laraine Day, Herbert Marshall, George Sanders, Albert Bassermann (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film; billed as "Albert Basserman"), Robert Benchley, Edmund Gwenn, Charles Wagenheim, and Eduardo Ciannelli. Note that this movie dealt with World War II and spies, and it was a clear statement from director Hitchcock that the war would soon involve every country, especially the United States, because there was no way to remain "neutral" when all those around you are at war. Finally, note that the movie credits the screenwriting to Charles Bennett and Joan Harrison, and notes that additional dialog was written by Robert Benchley and James Hilton (celebrated author of Lost Horizon and Goodbye, Mr. Chips), and Ben Hecht and Richard Maibaum apparently also contributed dialog, although they were uncredited!

Important Added Info: Note that this still is from a pretty remarkable collection of 20 Alfred Hitchcock stills we were consigned (which we are auctioning in 20 separate auctions). They include ones from many of his greatest movies, and six of them have wonderful candid images showing Hitchcock, and some of the non-candids are from movies where it is very hard to find top quality stills from. This is a very rare opportunity to purchase some of the finest Hitchcock stills we have ever auctioned! Condition: very good. There are two numbers overprinted in the bottom left corner. Otherwise, the still is in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
