The Films of Alfred Hitchcock: Saboteur

BBC One
on BBC One London

A selection of feature films directed by the master of suspense
Starring Robert Cummings, Priscilla Lane

A wartime Hollywood essay by Alfred Hitchcock on one of his favourite themes, that of the hero-as-fugitive. Robert Cummings stars as an American aircraft worker framed on a charge of sabotage who chases the real villains while the law chases him. Priscilla Lane plays the girl whom Hitchcock loves to attach - in the most literal sense - to his heroes. The heavy finally gets his comeuppance in the master's best and most vertiginous manner.
