Editorial Reviews

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, All Movie Guide

April 26, 2007: I borrowed this movie from the library for a fun evening with the family. It did not disappoint! In this memorable adventure story, Robert Cummings portrays a decent, ordinary guy who is falsely accused of murdering his best friend in an aircraft factory explosion during World War II. After escaping from the police, Cummings tracks down the villains to prove his innocence and expose the true enemies to his country. Along the way, he receives help from Priscilla Lane, a likeable [not to mention gorgeous!] girl who at first doubts him, but eventually realizes he is telling the truth. Even the minor characters are memorable, especially the kindhearted troupe of circus freaks. Although the climax is just and fulfilling, the reason I gave it four stars instead of five is that the ending is rather abrupt. We would liked to have seen more closure. Still, it's definitely worth watching, and the characters stick with you after the credits fade. I like Robert Cummings a lot. I’ve seen him in a few romantic comedies before, but I think he did just as well playing this desperate but good hearted man who stands up for himself and his country. Truthfully, I haven’t seen many Alfred Hitchcock movies, but must say that I’ve heard this is one of his milder ones. While it was suspenseful, it wasn’t scary and most likely won’t give the kids bad dreams. They should make more patriotic adventure stories like this today!
