- Hang on to your nerve.
- I've been hanging on long enough!

:01:08
You know, somehow I've suddenly
had enough of this country.

:01:12
This whole house is a hotbed
of spies and saboteurs.

:01:17
I have something to tell you.
:01:19
Something you oughta know
about this house.

:01:23
They bomb cities, sink ships,
torture and murder

:01:25
so you and your friends
can eat off of gold plate.

:01:28
(Screams) My husband! He's shot!
:01:30
l neither intend to be bombed
nor sunk, Mr Kane.

:01:34
(Alarm Ringing)
:01:36
A man like you can't last
in a country like this.

they're coming for you.

:01:54
(Man) The script of Saboteur
was developed

:01:55
under the aegis of David O Selznick.
:01:58
And he had on it as writers,
:02:01
Joan Harrison, who had come over
to this country with Hitchcock

:02:04
and had worked with him
on Rebecca, as a matter of fact

:02:07
Peter Viertel and, uh,
eventually Dorothy Parker.

:02:11
Joan Harrison left to do Phantom Lady,
which he produced, and

:02:17
this left Hitchcock with, uh,
:02:21
just Peter Viertel,
who was about to go into the marines.

:02:24
Selznick, finally getting this script,
:02:27
did what he
often did with his players

:02:30
and in this case, his director
:02:32
he tried to sell them to other people,
:02:35
because he didn't want to make it.
:02:38
And he was not successful in selling it.
:02:42
He tried RKO, and he was finally
successful in selling it

:02:47
to Jack Skirball and
Frank Lloyd, who had a company.

:02:57
