Aircraft plant worker Robert Cummings is accused of sabotaging his factory and causing the death of a co-worker. Actually, Cummings is the fall guy for a clever ring of Nazi spies, headed by above-suspicion American philanthropist Otto Kruger. Our hero goes on a cross-country chase after genuine saboteur Norman Lloyd, all the while pursued himself by the police. Along the way, he acquires a reluctant "travelling companion" in the form of Priscilla Lane, who at first despises Cummings and intends to turn him over to the authorities at the first opportunity, but who gradually comes to realize that the boy is innocent. Alfred Hitchcock intended Saboteur to be the American equivalent to his British The 39 Steps, employing such details as the solid-citizen villain, the handcuffed hero, the unwilling blonde heroine, and any number of stopovers with a variety of offbeat characters (a travelling "freak" show, a compassionate blind man, a grizzled old prospector who turns out to be one of the spies, etc.) Despite the witty dialogue exchanges courtesy of Joan Harrison and Dorothy Parker, the film stops dead in its tracks whenever Bob Cummings feels the urge to deliver a flag-waving speech about the "little man" vs. the fascist bullies. Also, Cummings and Priscilla Lane are a bit lightweight for their leading roles (Hitchcock had wanted Gary Cooper and Barbara Stanwyck). These and other shortcomings are happily forgotten during the now-famous climax, wherein cornered saboteur Norman Lloyd clings precariously from the torch of the Statue of Liberty.

$19.99 (AUD) What if one day you woke up and found yourself cocooned in webs, hanging from the ceiling and the world taken over by giant alien insects? This is the situation, our unlikely hero and perpetual slacker Cooper (Chris Marquette) finds himself in. Joined by his gung-ho dad (Ray Wise, Twin Peaks) and a ragtag group of strangers, the fate of the world is in their hands as they fight for their lives | Ring, The Se (Lenticular) Jb Exclusive $22.99 (AUD) It sounded like just another urban legend - a videotape filled with nightmarish images, leading to a phone call foretelling the viewer's death in exactly seven days. As a newspaper reporter, Rachel Keller (Naomi Watts) was naturally skeptical of the story, until four teenagers all met with mysterious deaths exactly one week after watching just such a tape. | $18.99 (AUD) Hitchcock's oft-overlooked thriller Young and Innocent is a strikingly photographed and tautly-plotted thriller which preempts later hits The Birds and North by Northwest both narratively and visually. Following the story of Hitchcock's favourite character archetype, the innocent man accused, the great director creates a high-stakes thriller imbued with humour, romance and—of course—suspense. | $28.99 (AUD) In Middle America, three horny teenagers travel to isolated Cooper's Dell after responding to an older woman's online invitation for sex. |
