Join us as we’re cracking the code of spy movies! Here, Dan and Tom decode the 1936 Hitchcock movie, SECRET AGENT. They look at the movie’s influence on future spy movies, and how sometimes being a secret agent is not that secret! Just ask Bond, James Bond.

Being an early spy movie, you know that some of the things we see in SECRET AGENT will be seen again. This will either be through direct copying or by heavily influencing scenes in future spy movies.

SECRET AGENT has an all-star cast and stars John Gielgud, Madeleine Carroll, and Robert Young.
