Yes, for Best Photography, Best Original Screenplay, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Production of the Year. Foreign Correspondent was nominated for the 1940 Academy Award. Well, come right in, Miss Green, put on your glasses, sit down, and take an epic.

No, Miss Green, this is not to be an editorial for the Sunday edition. This is to be some notes on my lurid past. You see, before I came here to Springfield and bought this paper and became a substantial citizen, I was a reporter Miss Green.

Johnny Jones, far in correspondence. That was long before there was even a phony war. I was sent to Europe to meet a man called Van Mier, known as the Strong Man of Holland. He had been one of the signers of a secret treaty between Holland and the Allied powers.

I was to get Van Mier to talk and to tell me what was in that treaty. My wife's maiden name is Carol Fisher. Her father was head of the Universal Peace Party. I met Carol over there and fell for her like a ton.

When she went down to Amsterdam with her father, I went to. There was a conference there, and I intended to kill two birds with one stone. For Van Mier was to be the principal speaker.
