High Treason

In High Treason, a whole band of terrorist/saboteurs try to knock out the same Battersea power plant that Oscar Homolka brought to a grinding halt with a little sand in Hitchcock's Sabotage eighteen years earlier! A logical successor to Seven Days to Noon, High Treason uses London in a sleazier and more intimate manner, as befits the underground operations of the sabotage gang. Beautifully underplayed and well crafted, it was less popular than its companion film, but probably better. The unpredictable British censors gave it a "U" certificate (the equivalent of a "G") despite its unsettling theme, and the comparatively rare admission that a member of Parliament could also be a traitor.
