Day 43: Sabotage (1936)

Another Hitchcock film - this one based on Joseph Conrad's novel Secret Agent.

The owner of a movie theater is a member of a gang who are planning a terrorist attack in London. An undercover agent is placed at the fruit stand next door who befriends the owner's wife, and tries to find out information about the pending attack.

Nothing spectacular about the film. The climax was a bit shocking (somewhat surprised it passed the censor's of the time), but can't go too much into it without ruining the film. All in all, the film didn't leave that much of an impact on me, and as such, this will be a short note.
