Movies Watched -- Saboteur (1942)

Added on by C. Maoxian.

109 minute running time so about ten minutes too long. Weird Hitchcock movie from 1942, pro-American propaganda during wartime … I was disturbed that they made the saboteurs either members of high society or smirking Jews (like Norm Perlmutter who played the main bad guy). Quirky story in many ways (the blind man, the circus sideshow performers, Statue of Liberty torch scene, etc.) … it’s interesting for historical reasons, and good-looking WASPs prevail, so…. John Farr recommended it, but I’m not sure it makes my Top 500 list.

“… the competence of totalitarian nations is much higher than ours. They get things done.“
