SILENT MAJORITY

The Saboteur was mostly boring but holy poo poo that scene on the bus had me like "uh uh, no way is he going to do it" and I laughed my rear end off. Also kinda funny because that movie featured a Disney short in it (for reasons unknown to me) and years later Disney would refuse to have anything to do with Hitchcock because Psycho disgusted him.

That's Sabotage. Saboteur is one of his early American films that's kind of meh. It has this bizarre second act on a circus train, but a great ending chase in NYC and the Statue of Liberty.

Sabotage still packs a punch. It doesn't have any levity, so it's a real shock when it happens.

The Disney thing sounds apocryphal. I can't find any direct quotes from Disney.

The Disneyland murder was going to be part of an unproduced film where James Stewart receives the eyes of a dead man. It wasn't even in production or had a finished script.

(The ironic thing is that Disney owns the four films Hitchcock directed for David O. Selznick)

My mistake. I just remember it being based off a Conrad novel that I never read. The premise was pretty good, but the film itself was a bit slow. Then again, it was one of his earlier ones. And the Disney thing may well be apocryphal -- I'm a sucker for reading attributed quotes on IMDb.
