`~John Doe~`
Edit cast list for:
Secret Agent (1936)?
Trivia:
Based on `~W. Somerset Maugham~`'s @##Ashenden##@ spy stories (@#The Traitor#@ and @#The Hairless Mexican#@) and a play by `~Campbell Dixon~`. `~John Gielgud~` filmed this during the day while appearing on stage in @%Romeo and Juliet%@ opposite `~Peggy Ashcroft~` and `~Laurence Olivier~` in the evening. `~Alfred Hitchcock~` reflected (regarding `~John Gielgud~`'s lack of heroics): "You can't root for a hero who doesn't want to be one." `~Alfred Hitchcock~` convinced `~John Gielgud~` to play the lead by describing the hero as a modern day Hamlet. Gielgud, however, ended up hating that his character was an enigma and felt Hitchcock made the villain more charming than the hero.
