Today's feature is Alfred Hitchcock's 1942 classic innocent man on the run thriller about an aircraft factory worker who unmasks a gang of 5th columnists during World War II. Fantastic climax at the Statue of Liberty.

Love the scene where they are driving past the docks where the SS Normadie lies capsized — the implication being that the fire was caused by a German saboteur.

Norman Lloyd (the guy on the Statue) related in an interview that after the screening, Alfred Hitchcock said “He needed a better tailor.”
I watched that as a kid and nearly wet myself at that final scene.

Saw the 1976? movie -Battle of Britain with Michael Cane.
Really enjoyed it . And it did not go over the top with
special effects but yet seemed so realistic. Todays movie
makers could take a lesson in their ever increasing amounts of CGI etc.
The part that sticks with me the most is the last battle scene — epic and sublime w/o battle sounds — just music while watching the airborn melee.
