All of Hitchcock’s films contain a mix of genre so it’s interesting to see what he makes out of a political thriller mystery with a romantic subplot, something completely unlike anything else he would become known for. The film is tense and dramatic as needed but spends long amounts of time in a comedic gear, with McCrea getting to fire off Grantesque screwball delivery. Laraine Day is waaaay too young to be his love interest but at least she’s written as intelligent and with some amount of agency. Would make an interesting double feature with The Great Dictator, released just two months later.
