I should have known right away that if I saw Madeleine Carroll's name on the poster, it would be a spy thriller. Carroll was already popular with Hitchcock in England, so it's no surprise that Hollywood cast her in the same genre. The General Died at Dawn is almost indistinguishable from The 39 Steps and Secret Agent. All of them are equally naive, except for the fact that in England Robert Donat was the idol and in Hollywood it was Gary Cooper.
