Another decent thriller from Hitchcock. Many people don’t seem to dig his earlier work, but I like the B-quality to it. Saboteur is no different from any of his previous work (minus Rebecca), as it is another “upright citizen who stumbles upon a dastardly conspiracy.” Sure the plot is littered with holes, and the dialogue is the hokiest of hokey, but I guess I have a soft spot for such things.

Two strapping young lads work in a factory, until a fire bursts out and kills one of said lads, and all leads point to a fictitious man who isn’t even employed there. Chases occur, much hiding ensues, the usual Hitchcockian shit goes down. And, as usual, everyone remains calm in the most daring of situations. LIke I said, it’s pure grade B-rated cheese at its finest. I wouldn’t venture out of your own way to see this, but if you enjoy Hitchcock (as I do), and you’re curious to see his older work, check it.
