Saboteur, 1942, directed by British filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock
Aircraft plant worker Barry Kane (Robert Cummings) is wrongfully accused of sabotage that also resulted in the death of his best friend. As fugitive on the run, he "befriends" Pat Martin (Priscilla Lane) who woefully agrees to help. Determined to find the terrorist responsible for the fire (Norman Lloyd), Kane navigates through a series of events (jumping off a bridge to escape the FBI and an encounter with a circus freak show among them) in order to uncover a conspriacy against the United States, and of course, in true Hitchcockian form, also fall in love in the process.
One of Alfred Hitchcock's most overlooked films (his first success in the United States), Saboteur was shot on location in California, Utah and New York City. As always, Hitchcock's signature sytle of suspense, action and humor are on display, including one of the most famous climatic final scenes in cinema history.
