To celebrate the pending 120th anniversary of Alfred Hitchcock's birth, we begin here a longish thread recalling the film where Hitch's young career was very nearly derailed by a boy on a bus with a bomb (and a puppy😁). #Hitchcock #AlfredHitchcock

A loose adaptation of Joseph Conrad's 1907 novel, The Secret Agent, SABOTAGE (1936) co-stars Oscar Homolka, as a terrorist; and features Desmond Tester, as a likable schoolboy who is unwittingly dispatched to deliver a bomb hidden in a package, which must arrive before 1:45 p.m.

Thus begins an eight-minute sequence wherein the camera follows the boy as he makes his way across a section of London, all the while carrying a bomb. As Hitchcock later told Truffaut: 'I made a serious mistake in having the little boy carry the bomb...' #AlfredHitchcock
