The 1942 thriller Saboteur may not be as famous as many of Alfred Hitchcock's other titles, but that's not to say it isn't worth checking out when it plays Charlotte this Saturday. Set during World War II, it stars charismatic Robert Cummings (Dial M for Murder) as a working Joe falsely accused of helping the Nazis via acts of stateside sabotage; equally charming Priscilla Lane (Arsenic and Old Lace) co-stars as the only person who believes he's innocent. And despite its relatively unknown status, it does contain one of Hitch's most famous set-pieces, a climactic battle atop the Statue of Liberty.

Saboteur will be screened as part of the film series The Master of Suspense: 7 Alfred Hitchcock Classics. The showing will be held at 2 p.m. this Saturday, Aug. 1, in ImaginOn's Wachovia Playhouse. Admission is free. Do yourself a favor and check this one out.
