Product Description

Cinquième colonne est un excellent divertissement, aux rebondissements constants et mené sur un rythme tambour battant. Le film mêle comme Les 39 marches et La Mort aux trousses le thème du road movie à celui du film d'espionnage. L'histoire emmène le héros, Barry Kane, de la Californie à New York, accumulant les péripéties diverses. Dans ce film, les méchants ont plus d'épaisseur et sont plus nuancés que les personnages principaux. Hitchcock dénonce la fausseté des apparences ; ceux qui apparaissent les plus "normaux" sont inhumains alors que les "marginaux" sont les plus humains. Avec Cinquième colonne, réalisé peu avant que les États-Unis s'engagent dans la Seconde Guerre mondiale, Hitchcock cherche à attirer l'attention des Américains sur le danger qui les menace. --Christophe Gagnot

I saw this film about 40 years ago. The movie is quite a thriller; you will cringe back in your armchair during the Statue of Liberty scene.
Although the movie has been cut extensively from the one I saw, it is still quite corney in places. The scenes I remember which were cut are: the saboteur bangs on a bolt with a wrench to losen a bole so a travelling crane will crash; Barry tries to file thru the chain of the handcuffs using the spiral pipe of a floor lamp; spies who have been uncovered call their message center and warn "Tell the following to leave the country immediately: ..."; when barry is being moved to a different location, bound and gagged, he memorizes the sequence of sounds he hears outside the car and thru the car, and retraces the root with the police.

It is 1942; we are in the height of war. Barry Kane (Robert Cummings) and his best buddy are putting out a mysterious fire. They are assisted by a stranger Frank Fry (Norman Lloyd). When it turns out to be sabotage, naturally the authorities have to accuse Barry. Barry's only chance of survival is to follow clues across the country to find fry. On his travels he gets teemed up with Patricia Martin (Priscilla Lane) who wants to do her patriotic duty and turn Barry in to the authorities. You can not tell the good guys from the bad guys until it is too late.
Can Barry convince Pat that he is innocent?
Can they ever find Fry?
Even if they do find Fry will the authorities ever believe that Barry is innocent?
Be prepared for a lot of long winded speeches from both

Good.
'Saboteur' is yet another fantasic mystery from Alfred Hitchcock. Although I don't remember the storyline too much, I remember liking it enough to give it a four-star review.

Flag-waving Obstructs Special Effects
It's obvious that "Saboteur" was made during the war because of the fever pitched flag-waving and America right-or-wrongness. Read more

This is GREAT not GOOD!
Saboteur is pure Hitchcock but most people always say that it is uneven but it is just the opposite! The climax and the ball scene are purely magic. Read more
