Hi Everyone,
Did anyone notice James Bond music in this movie? It is the scene where Priscilla Lane (Pat) takes Robert Cummings (Barry Kane) to the blacksmith.

I thought it is similar to James Bond Music.

Yeah - right when Pat has just grabbed Barry's hands and wrapped them round the steering wheel there are a few seconds of James Bond-like chords similar to the main fanfare. Well spotted. I don't know what to make of it - but it was incredible that you could even notice that!

Interesting catch. I'll go looking for it.

There are only so many musical note combinations...but I wonder...did the James Bond music man "steal" this? It's not like "Saboteur" was an unknown, obscure film.

Somewhat... but you do realize this movie was made 20 years before the first Bond movie, don't you?
