Review
Extremely offbeat wartime Hitchcock yarn about a munitions worker who's falsely accused of sabotage and forced to take it on the lam. Full of quirky touches, unusual supporting characters, and some outstanding set-pieces, including famous Statue of Liberty finale… though actual story resolution is unfortunately abrupt. Screenplay by Peter Viertel, Joan Harrison and Dorothy Parker.

Cameo
Hitchcock makes his cameo appearance about an hour in standing in front of Cut Rate Drugs in New York as the saboteur's car stops
