	DVD Review - Saboteur (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		As part of the massive "Alfred Hitchcock Collection," Universal Home Video brings to DVD the very first film of the little round director’s that the studio produced, "Saboteur." Made in 1942 and set during the Second World War, the film explores one of Hitchcock’s favorite themes: the man who is wrongly accused.
		"Saboteur" begins in a Los Angeles aircraft factory, where a sudden fire engulfs the plant as the workers’ are on a break.
		Considering that it was made during the War, which limited their use of real locations and props, the film nonetheless has a very large feel to it and features a slew of scenic locations.

		Although the film was only a light musical-comedy, I still found myself wanting the Edwin at the end of the film to become more like Edwin at the beginning of the film, but the audience is left believing that he is now a better person because he is more like his brother.
		Saboteur, a film by Alfred Hitchcock made in 1942 confronts the issue of subversives in America during the war.
		Saboteur is as close to a propaganda film as I have ever seen in a Hitchcock film and Hitchcock uses his usual skills and the symbolism Statue of Libertyto effectively convey the message that there is a very powerful group of subversives operating in America that need to be stopped.

	Saboteur: Intro (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Saboteur stands out as an earlier version of this continuing theme, and a solid contribution to Hitch's overall body of work.
		The film is reminsient of Sabotage in that it's plot centers on the working class's introduction to the sinister plans of evildoers.
		It is also reminisent of North by Northwest, not simply because both films feature falls from national monuments, but in that it's protagonist manages somehow to carry the film, even though the villians are the true power behind its allure.

		This film is the center of a trilogy of films with essentially the same plot, beginning with Hitchcock’s great English thriller The Thirty Nine Steps and concluding with North by Northwest.
		Saboteur was one of her favorite films, and according to her biographer, Daniel Bubbeo, contains her best performance, although one of Hitchcock’s biographers William Rothman, says she plays her part “like a block of wood.” A month after Saboteur, she married her second husband and virtually retired from the screen.
		The film used newsreel footage of the capsized liner Normandie, and implicated that Nazi saboteurs were responsible for its sinking.

	History of Film- British Encyclopedia Online
		Film as an art form grew out of a long tradition of literature, storytelling, narrative drama, art, mythology, puppetry, shadow play, cave paintings and perhaps even dreams.
		Such films as King Kong, Gone With The Wind, The Wizard of Oz, Casablanca, and Citizen Kane, are examples of the accomplishments in cinematic technique in this era.
		French film critics began to notice a certain stylistic approach to certain genres in American film, Gangster movies and crime dramas in particular, and began to refer to this type of movie as "Film noir".

	MovieFreak.com - "Stage Fright" DVD Review
		Filming in his native London for the first time since coming to the States, Hitchcock opens the film with a long, compelling flashback, as Jonathan Cooper (Richard Todd) tells Eve of how he was framed.
		Hitchcock later felt that the flashback scene in this film was his second biggest career mistake (his biggest mistake, he felt, being the handling of a key scene in his 1942 film Saboteur).
		The casting of the film is discussed, as are Hitchcock’s thoughts about the film later on.

	DVD Times - Hitchcock Collection: Saboteur
		The fact that both of those films are vastly superior doesn’t help but the negative comparison might have been less damning were it not for some key defects.
		Saboteur is the first disc in Universal’s new “Alfred Hitchcock Masterpiece Collection” and although the film is far from the director’s best work, the disc is well up to scratch.
		The film has apparently been re-mastered since its original release by Universal and the result is a fine monochrome transfer, presented in the original Academy aspect ratio of 1.33:1.

		The film transfers are generally of a good standard, although obviously this has to be taken in the context of seven films spreading across eighteen years and both fl and white as well as colour transfers.
		A worthy enough film but not quite in the gem category, although this view is clearly at odds with those of the voters on the Internet Movie Database who have this film ranked at 215 in the Top 250 Films of all time at the moment.
		Film artefacts are very prevalent in the transfer and the odd snowstorm here or there is just a little too obvious to ignore.

		In both films, the man's problems are triggered by a visual image: heights and a pattern of zoom and tracking in Vertigo, and a series of parallel straight lines against a white background in Spellbound.

		The opening sequence of the film is full of noir features: a crime involving money and financial corruption, the prominence of police, especially uniformed police, the mixture of night and rain on the drive, a look at the problems and dark side of middle class life.

	Film/Classic: North by Northwest (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Famed for conceptualizing his films in his mind in great detail, Hitchcock had a wickedly delicious sense of humor and was a master manipulator of his audiences with unexpected dramatics in spectacular locations.
		Hitchcock's status in film history is very secure, however, because of his immense influence, the magnetism of his casts, and his sardonic and mischievous wit.

	Statue of Liberty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the ending of the 1968 film Planet of the Apes, the statue appears decayed and half-buried in sand, serving as painful, undeniable proof to the film's protagonist, Taylor, that he has been on Earth the whole time.
		In the disaster film, Deep Impact the statue is toppled and her severed head pushed into the streets of the city by the tidal wave of water created from the asteroid impact (Seen when the tidal wave hits Manhattan)
		An eatlier scene in the film, however, showed the mood slime used to animate the statue could cause solid substances to animate (as a bathtub was shown to become flexible).

		Saboteur, 1942's picaresque tour over a condensed map of the country, highlighting the nation's archetypes and oddities in a brisk chase between enemy agents and True Love, was a very rough draft of this vision.
		The film moved Hitchcock out of the category of mere genre director and into the realm of the essayist on the universal fears and discontents of his species.
		Cinematographer Joseph Valentine filmed the streets of Santa Rosa, California with documentary clarity; the town was used that same year for another drama of the American small town, The Happy Land.

		All the elevators were shot on film with fl and white negative film, color negative film and color transparency (slide) film, using a Mamiya RB67 medium format camera that produces 2-1/4 x 2-3/4 inch (6x7cm) negatives, compared to the familiar, but much smaller, 35mm negatives, which are 1 x 1-1/2 inches (2.4 x 3.6cm).

		The characters are well drawn, the dialogue is fun and the quirks he gives some of the villains here are wonderful touches.
		Two of the only remaining (living) participants from the film, actor Norman Lloyd (who played Frank Fry) and art director Robert Boyle, are involved here and they do a wonderful job.
		Hitchcock was never one to play politics, and yet his films have always had a political shadow behind them.

	dOc DVD Review: Morituri (1965)
		Even though the film begins in Asia and involves Germans, the title comes from the pledge that gladiators made to the emperor before fighting: We who are about to die, salute you.
		These confusions aside, Morituri is an off-beat little film that shows World War II from a German perspective, a viewpoint that was rare in that era, following, by a few years, The Young Lions, with its controversial and sympathetic portrayal of a German soldier by Brando.
		Brando made this film while in the midst of his legendary string of box office failures that spans the 1960s from Sayonara in 1957 to The Godfather in 1972.

		Hitch's previous film before Sabotage was actually called Secret Agent, which provided some confusion: first that film, and then a remake of a novel called _The Secret Agent_ - into a film called Sabotage.
		Robert Donat, whom Hitch initially hoped would appear in his film as John Loder's character, later took a role in a 1943 film called The Sabotage Agent (which incidentally was also scored by Hitch regular Louis Levy).
		It was her sixth of seven appearances in films directed by or otherwise associated with Hitchcock, including The Ring, The Maxnman, and Murder!

		But the most interesting thing about Saboteur is the frequency with which characters demonstrate their willingness to obstruct the police, going on nothing more than the fact that Kane seems like a stand-up guy.
		Saboteur was made during the thick of World War II, so there are a few passages of heavy-handed jingoism to get through but they're relatively painless.
		This film and LIFEBOAT are Hitchcok's wartime films, and both are a bit heavy-handed and preachy.

		So I think I was spoiled in the sense that all the Hitchcock films I had to do were very different, and all from different periods of his career, too.
		I hope I succeeded in doing something that only paid tribute to a film that I feel has been overlooked, but also that at the end of his life; he was still active and making fascinating movies.
		I would treat an old film like Saboteur like I would A.I. (the Steven Spielberg film), that is just the nature of being loyal to the material.

	The DVD Journal \| Quick Reviews: Saboteur
		Naturally (this being, after all, a Hitchcock film) no one believes Barry's story that a mysterious stranger named Fry is the true culprit, so only he can track down the real saboteur and his traitorous organization before more lives (not to mention The American Way) suffer further calamity.
		The weasely saboteur, Fry, is effectively played by Norman Lloyd, a popular character actor still working today and, during the '60s and '70s, a ubiquitous TV producer for Alfred Hitchcock Presents among other shows.
		Of course Saboteur is well directed, though it's rather like visiting an art museum's "early works" exhibit of an artist before he became the Master of his form.

		Near the end of the film the saboteur is unmasked, then falls into the sub's aquarium during a fight and is eaten by a shark that the sub's marine biologist just happens to have on board for research purposes.
		The name of the film is an inversion of a phrase appearing at about its time, concerning the exploration of the Arctic Ocean by nuclear submarines, namely, "a voyage to the top of the world." No large submarine can reach the ocean floor in the high seas and safely return.
