Trivia:
Originally, Barry Kane was to be named Barry Ford, Patricia Martin was Teddie Miller and Philip Martin was Edward Miller. moreGoofs:
Errors in geography: Fry orders the taxi to go downtown from midtown Manhattan, but on the way they pass by the sunken ship on their right which is supposed to be in the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Brooklyn is to the east of Manhattan so it's impossible to see the ship on their right. moreQuotes:
[to Patricia as they dance at a party full of Nazi sympathizers]Barry Kane: Right now, they're probably haggling over the price for us with Murder, Incorporated.

You can't help but marvel at Hitchcock's early work. "Saboteur," for example, is so slick and quick that it's hard to believe he made this film over 60 years ago. There's some propaganda elements but they're woven into the mystery so well that the thing plays beautifully years later. You also get some previews of stuff that Hitchcock would do later--like using a national landmark as a backdrop. This time it's the Statue of Liberty. In "North by Northwest," of course, it's Mt. Rushmore. You'll also recognize things that pop up later in "Rear Window" and "Vertigo" in "Saboteur" but let's not give away the show. Robert Cummings is excellent as is the oh-so-charming Otto Kruger. Look for Hitchcock's mini-western in this one. It happens quickly so don't blink.
