In 1939, the editor of the New York Globe invites the tough reporter John Jones to be the substitute for the inefficient Stebbins as foreign correspondent in London. His first assignment is to interview the Dutch leader Mr. Van Meer in his lecture for peace in London to know about the possibility of a declaration of war against Germany. Johnny meets Stephen Fisher, the leader of the organization Universal Peace Party that promotes peace, and his beautiful daughter Carol Fisher, and he has a crush on Carol. When Van Meer is apparently murdered in Amsterdam, Johnny follows the assassin with Carol and the journalist Scott ffolliett through the countryside and discovers that Van Meer has been abducted indeed. However, nobody believes on the truth and he tangle with an international conspiracy.
Johnny Jones, an insubordinate city desk reporter, is sent to London as a foreign correspondent. There he interviews Van Meer, leader of a peace movement endorsed by Universal Peace Party head Stephen Fisher. Johnny finds fisher&#39;s pretty young daughter, Carol, more interesting than the movement. In Amsterdam, Van Meer apparently is assassinated. Johnny and journalist Scott ffolliett follow the assassin into the countryside. Johnny investigates a windmill and find the real Van Meer, a drugged prisoner. His captors escape with their prisoner, and Johnny&#39;s story is not believed. After attempts on Johnny&#39;s life, Carol believes him. Now in love, they return to London, where Johnny realizes that her father is actually the leader of the conspirators. Johnny tries to protect Carol, who is totally innocent, but she misinterprets his motives, and they quarrel. He and Scott try without success to convince Scotland Yard of Fisher&#39;s conspiracy to stall peace efforts. Then war is declared. On board a clipper plane, Fisher explains to his daughter that he was only being loyal to his native country. Johnny, also on the plane, tries to make up with Carol.
Naive reporter Johnny Jones (Joel McCrea) is sent to Europe to find out if war is going to break out (this was before Hitler invaded Britain). While there he gets mixed up with a Dutch diplomat (Albert Basserman), beautiful (if vapid) Carol Fisher (Laraine Day) and her father Stephen (Herbert Marshall). They&#39;re all fighting for peace...but someone is out to kill Jones. I can&#39;t reveal anymore--it would give away some surprises that you should see for yourself.<br/><br/>A forgotten Hitchcock film (for some reason). It&#39;s no masterpiece but it&#39;s easily one of his best. It never stops for breath--there&#39;s plenty of action and the story moves quickly. <br/><br/>POSSIBLE SPOILERS!!! It also contains some of Hitch&#39;s best sequences: a killer trying to escape in a sea of umbrellas; the windmills; attempts to kill McCrea; McCrea escaping over a hotel roof and an exciting and realistic plane crash. POSSIBLE SPOILERS END!!!!<br/><br/>It has some minor problems. The romance between McCrea and Day comes out of nowhere and is pretty silly; the plot is sometimes confusing and the movie does go on too long. Acting varies--McCrea was never a good actor but he&#39;s tall, handsome and athletic and it works here, but Day is given nothing to work with and turns out a bland performance. However Marshall was excellent as was George Sanders (it&#39;s really fun to see him so young).<br/><br/>So a really good Hitchcock film deserving recognition. Recommended.
What a letdown. As a Htchcock fan, I thought I was watching the wrong movie. It&#39;s awful.<br/><br/>McCrea and Day don&#39;t work particularly well together. There&#39;s no real chemistry or spark. McCrea was best when the horse did most of the talking. Day did TV ~1950-on and that suited her. Other than a small gem of a performance by George Sanders, the rest is just nothing.<br/><br/>But the plot, whew. What is going on? Van Meer is kidnapped but his double is assassinated. He&#39;s hidden away and being tortured by a spotlight. When he talks you only hear mumbling (Yes, I know the didn&#39;t speak English at the time - so what?).<br/><br/>It&#39;s got all of the Hitchcock trademarks: Characters killed or almost killed by rotating gears; falling and fear of falling; mistaken identities; brusque newspapermen. But it&#39;s painfully, dreadfully, mind-numbingly dull.<br/><br/>I wondered if the government got involved and Hitchcock somehow tried to do a propaganda job with it. His movies before and after are tight and clean. This one is a mystery.
