Saboteur**                                          

(US 1942)

Universal. 108m. bw

An aircraft factory worker is wrongly accused of sabotage and goes on the run to find the real culprit.
Slightly stilted and contrived Trans-American Hitchcock thriller, not quite as sharp or as briskly entertaining as The 39 Steps, with pauses for propagandizing about American values, but still manages to fit in imaginative climaxes at Radio City Music Hall and the Statue of Liberty.

Written by: Peter Viertel, Joan Harrison, Dorothy Parker, from a story by Alfred Hitchcock.
Producers: Frank Lloyd, Jack H. Skirball.
Director: Alfred Hitchcock.
Starring: Robert Cummings, Priscilla Lane, Otto Kruger, Alan Baxter, Alma Kruger, Norman Lloyd, Vaughan Glaser, Ian Wolfe.
Photography: Joseph Valentine.
Music: Frank Skinner.

SABOTEUR. Robert Cummings as the archetypal Hitchcock wronged hero on the run, getting to grips with feisty Priscilla Lane.
