Journey into Fear

Based On the book by Eric Ambler

Journey into Fear is a 1943 American spy film noir directed by Norman Foster, based on the 1940 British novel of the same name by Eric Ambler. The film adaptation broadly follows the plot of the book, but the protagonist was changed to an American engineer. The destination of his journey was changed from France to the Soviet Union—reflecting the changes in the war situation since the original Ambler book was written. (France was occupied by German troops, and the US and Soviet Union had joined the war and become allies).
