"Saboteur" was an interesting WWII era film directed by Alfred Hitchcock that takes us on the journey of wrongly accused Barry Kane, played by Robert Cummings. Although there has been many movies about people wrongly accused of crimes, Hitchcock managed to spin this one into a clever story of espionage and suspense. It was interesting that this film highlighted groups that were working against the American cause in the war. Usually everything in that period is pro America and about American patriotism.
In the midst of a thriller, Hitchcock weaved a love story into the plot. Patricia Martin, played by Priscilla Lane, was at first trying to turn Barry Kane into the police, became his captive and slowly realized his innocence. I've heard Hitchcock was known for his cutting edge cinematography and there was lots of that in this movie. I think what made this film so good was the big stunts and the artistic use of the camera.
