I like this story.A man is supposed to be a murder and try to escape.He meet a young ,beautiful lady on the way and they fall in love.It's so romantic ,at the time thrilling especially last scene that a real murder scream for a help on the statue of liberty.However I don't like something in the film.I think it is too rapid that two of them confirm how they feel to each other.

Saboteur belongs to the group I call "middle Hitch" - neither among his timeless masterpieces (Psycho, Rear Window, Vertigo...) nor among his very good movies (To Catch a Thief, Suspicion...), but still better than his rare weak efforts (Jamaica Inn, Frenzy...).The "middle Hitch" includes breezy, fun genre movies (The Lady Vanishes, Young and Innocent...), with flashes of genius here and there. Saboteur follows the "innocent man on the run" template which the director had been tackling since The 39 Steps and which will peak decades later with North by Northwest. Leads Robert Cummings and Priscilla Lane are lightweight but likable; the story of a young man wrongly accused of sabotage who must escape the police and find the real culprit is entertaining, although Hitchcock's own assessment (in one of his insightful interviews with Truffaut) that the script lacks discipline and is cluttered with too many ideas seems accurate.7/10

Barry Kane (Robert Cummings) is a worker at an aircraft plant in California. A fire is set killing his friend Mason. Frank Fry had given him a fire extinguisher which he handed to Mason. Only the extinguisher is filled with gasoline. They find no such worker named Fry and the cops come after Kane. Kane goes on the run and remembers the address on one of Fry's letters he picked up which leads to Charles Tobin (Otto Kruger)'s ranch. He escapes and kidnaps unbelieving Pat Martin (Priscilla Lane) on a wild adventure to stop Tobin and his cohorts.It's a lot twists and turns from Hitchcock in America. There are also way too many people who choose to believe him despite being a fugitive from the police. Cummings is not nearly charismatic enough to lead the movie or convince all those people of anything. The adventure needs a lot more action in the middle. It's not Hitchcock's best effort but the final Statue of Liberty is pretty good. It does remind me of the superior 'North by Northwest'.

***SPOILERS*** Given the "Masters", director Alf Hitchcock, touch the movie is a lot better then it could have been without O'l Alfie directing it. It's about a man Barry Kane, Robert Commings, on the lamb for a crime that he didn't commit: Treason against the USA. It was in fact Barry's co-worker, who was not even employed there, at the aircraft plant Frank Fry, Norman Lloyd, who after a fire broke out at the plant handed Barry a fire extinguisher that was filled with gasoline that ended up burning the place down and killing Barry's friend and person he handed it to Ken Mason, Virgil Summers. Now on the run and wanting to prove his innocence Barry tries to track down Fry and have his brought to justice, in the electric chair, before he dose any more damage as well as clear his name.It's pretty model Pat Martin, Priscilla Lane, who after being kidnapped by him hooks up with Barry, Pat is obviously suffering from the Stockholm Syndrome, in finding Fry and his cohorts who are planning to do bigger and worser things to the USA! That in bombing the both the Hoover Dam and sinking at it's launching at the Brooklyn Navy Yark the latest US battleship the USS Alaska. As it turns out Fry belongs to this group of saboteurs who want to knock the USA out of the war, against Germany & Japan, before it even starts going full blast.***SPOILLERS****The exciting final takes place at of all places the Statue of liberty where the fleeing Fry is totally isolated, surrounded by Manhattan Bay, with no where to go but up with Barry and a squad of New York City policemen and FBI agents chasing him. Fry could have easily escaped on the mainland with the help of his fellow senators but choose to go to Liberty Island for no other reason, as far as I could tell,but to see the sights! Wearing a cheap suit that he bought in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, off a pushcart peddler, and dangling on the statue's Torch of liberty Fry gets cooked by, with Barry losing his grip on him, falling some 130 feet to his death below.What's so unusual about this film is that were never given the name of the country that Fry and his fellow saboteurs working for even though it was obvious to anyone watching it was Hitler's Germany! It may have been that the movie was made before the attack on Pearl Harbor and before Germany's,four days later, deceleration of war on the USA. That in it's distributors not trying to increase the tensions with the German Government, which were high already, that the USA was still at peace with. P.S Look for Actor Robert Mitchum in a walk-on role as an aircraft worker, which he in fact was, earlier in the film going with both Barry & Ken to the plant mess-hall before the deadly fire broke out.
