Film: Edit examples: Sabotage

SABOTAGE

THIS IS ANOTHER example of a montage sequence, from Alfred Hitchcock's Sabotage (1936). To view the sequence (dubbed in a foreign language), click here. A study picture is attached.
    There is another brief sequence from Sabotage, with a voice-over lecture, for study. I disagree with the lecture about the effectiveness of the musical underscore. The crescendi (musical climaxes) are banal and distract from the suspense of the montage. Perhaps here's a chance for students to voice their opinions about the musical cue in this sequence. To see the clip, go here.
