Saboteur Summary
MPAA Rating: PG
Director: Alfred Hitchcock
Genres: Spy Film, Thriller
Rating:
Aircraft plant worker Robert_Cummings is accused of sabotaging his factory and causing the death of a co-worker. Actually, Cummings is the fall guy for a clever ring of Nazi spies, headed by above-suspicion American philanthropist Otto_Kruger. Our hero goes on a cross-country chase after genuine saboteur Norman_Lloyd, all the while pursued himself by the police. Along the way, he acquires a reluctant "travelling companion" in the form of Priscilla_Lane, who at first despises Cummings and intends to turn him over to the authorities at the first opportunity, but who gradually comes to realize that the boy is innocent. Alfred_Hitchcock intended Saboteur to be the American equivalent to his British The_39_Steps, employing such details as the solid-citizen villain, the handcuffed hero, the unwilling blonde heroine, and any number of stopovers with a variety of offbeat characters (a travelling "freak" show, a compassionate blind man, a grizzled old prospector who turns out to be one of the spies, etc.) Hal Erickson, Rovi
