Description

Sabotage (1936 | B&W)
As early as 1936, Great Britain was suspicious of Hitler's military buildup. In that foreboding atmosphere, England's filmmakers responded to the German threat by making movies that alerted British citizens to the impending danger. The plot of Sabotage is true to the title. As German saboteurs infiltrate England with plans to blow up key industrial and civilian installations, the British spare no effort to trap the Nazis before they can complete their mission. Soon, Scotland Yard focuses their attention on a small theater, run by the charming Mrs. Verloc and her timid but peculiar husband. The Yard plants an undercover agent to investigate the theater further, and with that the conspiracy begins to unravel.

The Lodger (1927 | B&W Silent)
The director's first suspense thriller, with a classic Hitchcockian theme: lodger Novello is accused by jealous detective Keen of being a killer. Memorable finale, in which Novello is chased by a bloodthirsty mob. Also known as The Case of Jonathan Drew. Remade in 1932 (again with Novello), 1944, and in 1954 as Man in the Attic.
Look for Hitchcock's first cameo.
