In terms of suspense the sequence in "Sabatoge" is more drawn out of course and that may have led to more negative reaction from the audience, especially in the 1930's. On the other hand, Hitchcock was a genius so why shouldn't he feel free to break the rules later on , even his own. Happy Thanksgiving!

It always seemed like he was "protesting the issue a bit too much" -- especially since he repeated the strategy in PSYCHO.

It is a small masterpiece in itself and the music is very good. Thanks for reminding me of the importance of Mr. Levy's music in Hitchcock's 1930's British films--something I had not appreciated.
