Saboteur (1942) ***1/2
It's not a home run as far as excitement level goes, but Alfred Hitchcock's Saboteur (1942) is good, solid entertainment, with some nice character beats (particularly the blind man, even if it is a trope) and a fun finale. It's a touch patriotic for my tastes (though it makes sense considering the time it was made), but it never dips into xenophobia. Saboteur has an effective message (without being too heavy-handed) that, like many of Hitch's movies, favors the mistakenly-identified common man.
