Hitchcock makes his trademark cameo appearance about an hour into the film, standing at a kiosk in front of Cut Rate Drugs in New York as the saboteur's car pulls up. In his book-length interview with François Truffaut (Simon and Schuster, 1967), Hitchcock says he and Parker filmed a cameo showing them as the elderly couple who see Cummings and Lane hitchhiking and drive away, but that he decided to change that shot to the existing cameo.

Norman Lloyd states after Ben Hecht saw the film he told Hitchcock, regarding the finale's death of Lloyd's character due to an unravelling sleeve, "He should have had a better tailor.

Use of irony and symbolism.

Hitchcock made use of irony on multiple occasions to strengthen his meanings. Early in the film, the authorities are seen as menacing, while the well-respected rancher and kind grandfather is a Nazi agent. In contrast, only ordinary folks and the misfortunate perceive Kane's innocence and offer trust: a long-haul truck driver, a blind householder and the circus freaks. Driving along the New York waterfront Kane's car passes by the capsized hulk of the liner SS Normandie, an ominous warning of what could happen if the conspirators succeed in their plans. The final battle symbolizing tyranny against democracy takes place on the torch of Statue of Liberty.

I think that this is such a classics movie 2 watch.....i think that Virgil Summers as Ken Mason (uncredited), Selmer Jackson as FBI Chief (uncredited), were great throughout this movie.....i think that this is such a fantastic movie 2 watch it is so really well written/acted/directed movie 2 watch it is an absolutley beautiful movie 2 watch its got a great cast throughout this movie.......from the fire at the start of this movie until the very end of this brilliant movie you are absolutley gripped throughout this movie as it is such a fantastic movie 2 watch its so beautifully directed movie 2 watch it is a fantastic movie 2 watch.

This film should not be confused with an earlier Hitchcock film with a similar title, Sabotage (also known as The Woman Alone) from 1936.

I think that this is such a brilliant movie 2 watch with a great cast throughout this movie its so brilliant movie 2 watch with a great cast throughout this movie......
