Didn't spot Hitch in familiar wrong man on the run story in which Robert Cummings and Priscilla Lane receive help from unusual people, such as a bored truck driver and a troupe of circus freaks. Otto Kruger is rather good as a smiley villain, so is Norman Lloyd as the bomber, who meets his end in a terrifying finale on the Statue of Liberty (without music), featuring a great stunt as he goes over the edge. This all became our next film, North by Northwest.
Joseph Valentine does some lovely long shots - such as a scene where Cummings finds himself having to praise the hostess at a posh party.
It was well overdue.
