What one notices while watching "Sabotage" is the role of avians. There's the birds in the cage (like the lovebirds in "The Birds", maybe?), and after Sylvia Verloc (Sylvia Sidney) watches the cartoon "Who Killed Cock Robin?", she gets an idea. You see, her husband Karl (Oscar Homolka) is involved with some anarchists who have some unpleasant plans.
Alfred Hitchcock was showing his skills with this movie. As chaos is often a motif in his movies, you see it here, and this also has the theme of the guilty woman (or is she guilty?).
It's hard to believe that the young woman in this movie is the "Mars Attacks!" grandmother, but it's true.
