I am a Saboteur fan
I first watched this movie when stationed in Italy as a naval officer. It was one of the many VHS tapes my folks would send so that we could have some entertainment. The movie was an illumination, being as it was a capture of all of the cinematic and literal styles that could be placed into a movie, still keep it entertaining, while subtly poking at stereotypes.
Patriotic? Heck yes! And that's one of the true delights about it. It was unabashedly patriotic, because civilization deemed then that America and Britain were all that stood between civilization and obliteration at the hands of the Axis. Someday soon, I fear, we're going to be in the same spot - only this time, we'll be looking into the eyes of cheerless jihadists - once again having to explain to the French just why it is that these dangerous people need to be opposed.
Wouldn't I love to see how Hitchcock would cinematically treat the left's love affair with extreme Islam.
Now back to Saboteur: fantastic, fanciful send-up of totalitarianism juxtaposed against a pure America.
A-plus!
