Saboteur (1942)

Distinguished writer Dorothy Parker applied her patented polish to the screenplay for “Saboteur,” Alfred Hitichcock’s first fully American film. In this spy thriller, a young factory worker (Robert Cummings; “Dial M for Murder”) is accused of starting the fire that killed his best friend and must go on the run if he hopes to prove his innocence. Priscilla Lane (“Arsenic,” “Old Lace”) also star.

Local film historian Justin K. Rivers will introduce the film and lead a post-screening Q&A. Not rated. 109 minutes.
