Director:Alfred Hitchcock
Starring:Robert Donat \| Madeleine Carroll \| Lucie Mannheim \| Godfrey Tearle \| Peggy Ashcroft \| John Laurie \| Helen Haye
Genres:Classics \| Thriller
Languages:English

Synopsis:Alfred Hitchcock considered The 39 Steps to be one of his favourite films, partly because it launched his classic theme of the innocent man on the run from villains and lawmen. Robert Donat stars as Richard Hannay in this freely adapted version of John Buchan's story. Despite repeated remakes Hitchcock's riveting original remains unequalled.

Customer Review

Thorughly Enjoyable.
Hitchcok's original. If you are a Hitchcock fan, you know what you are getting. If you are a fan of BBC2 midweek matinees, you know what you are getting. If you are new to Hitchcock, you might be better off starting with his latter American catalogue, and work you're way back. This was an inspiring film, with almost every scene copied repeatedly in many films sense.

The 39 Steps
Enjoyable for a wet afternoon. Kenneth Moore gives an over rated performance in this 1959 version of the movie.

Very dated thriller that's not very thrilling
Richard Hannay sees an attempt on a woman's life, and rather than tell the police, steals her handbag to get in contact and hear her story of stolen missile plans being smuggled out of the country. When she is murdered by the nameless bad guys at his flat, he goes on the run from the police to find her contact and the stolen plans in the Scottish highlands. If you like ridiculous plots, ham-acting, cheerful-whistle-while-you-run heroes and 50's style casual sexism, this is for you.
