Saboteur--co-written by Dorothy Parker--is a fine film (I would rank it third amongst Hitchcock's films, after Shadow of A Doubt and Rear Window) and Priscilla is great in it--it's by far the best "companion-of-the-wrong-man" performance in the oeuvre...

Hitch also had a problem with Robert Cummings, apparently, but this movie is WAY better than remake North by Northwest, in my opinion (and only in mine, I suppose!)--and the non-iconic actors are largely responsible for that... You believe in Cummings as a guy that might get crushed--you don't believe it of Cary Grant.
