Saboteur

SABOTEUR (1942) - Nov. 12, 2006
About a man who has to go on the run after being wrongly accused of sabotage at the factory in which he works, this was classic Hitchcock. Robert Cummings was good as the man on the run, as was Pricilla Lane as his love interest. The film was, of course, really well directed by Hitchcock, and featured some classic set pieces, including one in a movie theatre (in which gunshots on the screen mask real gunshots) and one in the Statue of Liberty. There were also some pretty good instances of dark comedy, such as the billboards which seem to taunt the main character. ***1/2
