Public domain crime drama: Sabotage (1936)

In History of Narrative Film, David Cook regards Alfred Hitchcock's film Sabotage as one of his best, and said it contained some of Hitchcock's "most masterful sequences." The film is based on Joseph Conrad's novel The Secret Agent.

In Conrad's novel, the protagonist Karl Verloc is a shop owner bent on planting a terrorist bomb. In the movie, he is a cinema owner, kind to his wife and her young brother who lives with them. The political motivation of the terrorists in the film is ambiguous.
