Sabotage - Alfred Hitchcock


One of Hitchcock's early war films, last night we watched Sabotage. this film was a nice change from our TV episode habit on evenings where we are too lazy to read... As it's pretty short (90 min) it's do-able at night.

Not a great film, but amusing. I really liked the "commie" rich bad guy character - a tell-it-like-it-is attitude that was funny and well-played. Not that much suspense, as it was very much a wartime morality play, but a nice break and a decent part of the Hitchcock development. We didn't identify the Hitchcock self-placement in the movie, but we didn't start looking for him until relatively late... he was probably there somewhere.
