Sabotage (1936)

Sabotage (1936)

This is a story of a saboteur (played by Oskar Homolka) a terrorist bomber if you will whose motivations are never really explained. The only recognizable actors/actresses in the film are Sylvia Sidney & Homolka; director Alfred Hitchcock gets perhaps Sidney’s best on screen performance. She plays the saboteur’s wife whose younger brother (Desmond Tester) is killed by one of her husband’s bombs leading to a memorable (almost silent film like) scene in which she exacts revenge. John Loder plays a detective Sara Allgood appears uncredited. The film was banned in Brazil because it upset public order according to the South American government. The censor declared that it taught conspiracy and terroristic technique. In the United States it was released under the title A Woman Alone.
