Sabateur

Robert Cummings   d/ Alfred Hitchcock

1942 'patriotic' actioner with both feet planted firmly in hollywood reality. Most of this was studio-bound but still the lighting and chosen (fake) locations looked great.

The human stuff bordered on idiotic. People said things and did things that simply weren't plausible. It was a simpler time I guess...when audiences swallowed guff like this without critical thinking. Sort of like today...

Regardless of the hokey bits this is still the mighty Hitch and way ahead of most of the forgotten rubbish studios pumped out at the time.
