Journey Into Fear by Norman Foster
2021 movie #130. 1943. Cotton plays an American munitions expert on a business trip to Istanbul early in the war who realizes Nazi spies are trying to kill him. He's good as a nice guy who doesn't understand what's happening to him but has to fight to save his life in the end.
