Rats... in evening dress! Aircraft plant destroyed! A battleship blasted!"; about a factory worker who is falsely accused of sabotaging his factory and causing the death of a co-worker, but actually, he is just being set up by a group of spies; the man flees, trying to clear himself, while he is pursued by both the spies and police; he ends up thrown together with pretty Priscilla Lane, who at first thinks he is guilty, but comes to believe in his innocence) starring Priscilla Lane, Robert Cummings (Bob Cummings), Norman Lloyd (in the title role), Otto Kruger, Alan Baxter, Alma Kruger, Dorothy Peterson, Clem Bevans, Jean Trent, Will Wright, Tony Randall (uncredited and in his first role), Billy Curtis, Mary Curtis (Billy and Mary were little people, as well as husband and wife, in a circus sequence in this movie).

Also, the real saboteurs were intended to be Nazis in the script but the movie never mentions this. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that when this Alfred Hitchcock movie was released in 1942, Universal Pictures created two one-sheets with entirely different images (style C and style D), and we are offering an example of each in two different auctions (this auction is for the style C one-sheet). We have only auctioned three examples of this poster, and the last one sold in 2016 for $725! Condition: fair. The poster has rippling and MANY creases scattered throughout. It has separation at the top of the poster, but the center horizontal fold has separated from the left edge through the center crossfold and that separation has some paper loss. The upper vertical foldline is backed by conservation tape but the large area of separation at center has not been repaired and the poster is somewhat fragile. The poster is in need of restoration. Certainly a top restorer can repair the defects described above, and after, the poster will display really well, but please bear in mind the poster's substantial defects and the cost of restoration before placing a bid.
