Sabotage (1936) This film is the story of a man who is being paid by a terrorist organization to destroy parts of London. He starts by trying to sabotage the city’s power supply, but only succeeds for a brief while, and causes more amusement than mayhem. From there the plan goes to blowing up the Piccadilly Circus. An undercover law enforcement agent is deep into the investigation but neither he, nor the husband, can prevent the next terrorist blunder as the husband's time activated bomb ends up destroying a bus and killing his young brother-in-law. What Hitchcock does in this film, as he does so brilliantly in many others, is focus on the people involved, and how they act and react, as opposed to trying to explain what the terrorists are doing and what their motivation is. The film features the early Walt Disney short animation "Who Killed Cock Robin?" in a key scene displaying the irony of people's amusement at violence. All of that in just a hair over an hour. (Directed by Hitchcock) |
