Alfred Hitchcock's exciting 1942 wartime thriller stars Robert Cummings as a Los Angeles aircraft factory worker who witnesses his plant's firebombing by a Nazi agent. During the deadly explosion, Cumming's best friend is killed and he, himself, is wrongly accused of sabotage. To clear his name, Cummings begins a relentless crosscountry chase that takes him from Boulder Dam to New York's Radio City Music Hall, and finally, to a harrowing confrontation atop the Statue of Liberty.

Hitchcock's first film with an all-American cast moves with breakneck speed towards its spine-tingling climax to create a riveting masterpiece of suspense.

I enjoyed this movie a lot. I liked the humor in it. Especially fun was how the woman constantly did try to turn him in and that it took a while until she finally believed him.
I agree with Achim, that in a few scenes it was overly patriotic (the worst part where the woman mentions, that she couldn't believe that an American could ever be a saboteur), but I just took it as part of its time.
