Sabotage
726. SABOTAGE (The Woman Alone) (1936-England). Directed by ALFRED HITCHCOCK, with SYLVIA SIDNEY, OSCAR HOMOLKA, JOHN IODER. “SabotageÑThe willful destruction of buildings or machinery with the object of alarming a group of persons or inspiring public uneasiness”. The manager of a small British cinema is suspected of disrupting the supply of electricity to the city (as if British power generation problems needed help) and more seriously, setting a time bomb. An elaborately detailed suspense thriller, filled with Hitchcock’s master touches… the most famous of which is the innocent boy carrying the bomb set to go off at any moment. The tension becomes almost unbearable. Watch for a superb Hitchcock touch, a Walt Disney cartoon causing laughter in the midst of tears. 77 minutes. Hitchcock
