Analysis and comedic take on the 1936 thriller Sabotage directed by Alfred Hitchcock. This is not the 1942 thriller by Hitchcock called Saboteur which starred Robert Cummings. Secret Agent might have been a better title for the movie by Hitchcock had already used it earlier in the year for a differnt thriller. Sabotage concerns the a mild-mannered movie theater owner in London name Karl Verloc that works as a Secret Agent for a foriegn power. Somehow, he does his extra-carricular activities without any suspicion of his young wife, who thinks he is just a sweet man that struggles to run a movie house. The couple is joined by the wife's young brother, a pre-teen who seems to be living the charmed life getting to see his fill of movies by just venturing out their apartment door. Unfortunately for the boy Stevie this is as close to Cinema Pardiso as the movie gets. The McGuffin is a movie tin. The Hitchcock cameo is a quick one, but there is a second surprise cameo in store.
