Film 822: Saboteur

Trivia: Rumored to contain Robert Mitchum as an extra.

Alfred Hitchcock's original director's cameo was cut by order of the censors. He and his secretary played deaf-mute pedestrians. When Hitch's character made an apparently indecent proposal to her in sign language, she slapped his face. A more conventional cameo in front of a drugstore was substituted.

According to the Australian video-cassette sleeve notes, this was Alfred Hitchcock's first movie with an all-American cast.
