Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Sabotage (also released as The Woman Alone) is a 1936 British thriller film directed by Alfred Hitchcock and starring Sylvia Sidney, Oskar Homolka, and John Loder.Mrs. Verloc (Sidney) and her husband Karl (Homolka) own a London cinema called the Bijou. Karl secretly works for a terrorist group on the side. Ted Spencer (Loder), the friendly employee of a produce market next to the Bijou, is actually an undercover detective for Scotland Yard, and has been tracking Karl's movements. Spencer has a chance to foil a bombing plot by the terrorists, but complications arise when the detective's cover is blown, and when Stevie (Desmond Tester), the young brother of Mrs. Verloc, gets mixed up in the plot.Not to be confused with Hitchcock's later 1942 film Saboteur. For that matter, the novel this film is loosely based on, Joseph Conrad's The Secret Agent, should not be confused with Hitchcock's film Secret Agent, also released in 1936, but based on a story by W. Somerset Maugham.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Anyone Can Die | |

Anyone Can Die: Surprisingly invoked for a film of its era, as Stevie and Karl Verloc don't make it to the film's climax. | |

Asshole Victim | |
| Sabotage (1936) / int_8ed5c6e4 | comment |
Asshole Victim Mr.Verloc is stabbed and killed by Mrs. Verloc but he was working with the terrorist and played a hand in the death of Stevie and everyone on the bus. He also had been pretty insensitive about the fact Stevie had died because of him. All these factors don't exactly make him sympathetic when he is ultimately killed. | |

Big Blackout | |
| Sabotage (1936) / int_c253090a | comment |
Big Blackout: The film begins with London going dark after losing all of its electricity, as it's revealed later, because sand was put in the boilers of London's electricity grid as an act of sabotage. | |
