The Big Picture There has certainly never been an easy way to become a “movie star,” especially during Hollywood’s Golden Age, which saw many prospective stars vying for the attention of audiences. While breaking out to a mass audience took a combination of smart career decisions, inherent charisma, and blind luck, working with the great “Master of Suspense” himself, Alfred Hitchcock, was usually a pretty great way to get exposure.

Related Hitchcock’s Favorite Film of His Isn’t ‘Psycho’ or ‘Vertigo,’ It’s This Chilling Thriller And he has three succinct reasons for it. The tension ramps up in Sabotage when Scotland Yard dispatches the highly intelligent Detective Sergeant Ted Spencer to go undercover as a nearby worker, allowing him to observe what is going on in the cinema. Sabotage becomes a cat-and-mouse thriller, as Spencer must try to determine the source of Verloc’s attack without exposing his identity.
While the film itself is certainly an entertaining espionage thriller, the violent ending left audiences with a bitter taste in their mouths. The notion of a terrorist attack on a public procession felt a little too real, and the death of main characters used purely for shock value felt like it was done in poor taste. While the ending understandably drew backlash, no one was more critical of Sabotage than Hitchcock himself.
