An Original Vintage Theatrical 7 3/4" x 10" [20 x 25 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 wonderful candid still, which measures 7 3/4" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] (but it does not appear to be trimmed), has an incredible image of Alfred Hitchcock by the camera looking at Joel McCrea in bed and the script girl can be seen at right, and the writing on the back says that she is giving McCrea his lines. You can see above Hitchcock's head that Robert Benchley, who had a bit part in the movie, is to the left of the bed watching the scene. Finally, written on the back is the above information, together with "taken on set of Personal History - now changed to Foreign Correspondent", so obviously "Personal History" was the working title for this movie!
