Product Description

 
A classic British spy mystery, and one of Hitchcock's best, THE 39 STEPS is the story of an innocent man who struggles to prove his innocence. Robert Donat gets more than he bargained for when he brings home a mysterious woman (Lucie Mannheim) who confesses to be a British agent on the hot trail of a dangerous spy ring. The woman is killed in Donat's apartment and he immediately finds himself on the run, burdened with the charge for her murder and the dangerous knowledge of her mission. The film is distinguished by its pioneering use of contrapuntal sound effects, as well as the dynamism between Donat and his costar Madeleine Carroll.

Alfred Hitchcock's-The 39 Steps-1935

Date of Review:  Jun 20, 2002
The Bottom Line: This is an interesting movie that shows the beginnings of the Hitchcock genre. It is fun to watch, although the quality of the sound brings it down a notch.
Review: Alfred Hitchcock's earlier movies show that he was far from a late bloomer in creating mystery and suspense, heavily laced with folksy humor. There is only one genre that really applies, unique to the genius that was Hitchcock. Because if Hitchcock...

Date of Review:  May 18, 2001
The Bottom Line: Don't read the novel then expect the film to be anything like it.
Review: I'll confess my terrible sin. While I expect to be derided and perhaps poked with sharp sticks, my only defense shall be, "I was young, yea, and foolish."

For verily, I read the book The 39 Steps, by John Buchan, after I saw the film "The...

Hitchcock's First Cliffhanger: The 39 Steps

Date of Review:  Mar 16, 2008
The Bottom Line: A very good cliffhanger that shows the inventiveness of the fiendishly clever brain of Alfred Hitchcock.
Review: The 39 Steps (1935)

Alfred Hitchcock started his career in London making films for companies like British International Pictures, first in silent, and then in talkie formats. His visual knack that worked well in the silent films carried...

Professional Reviews

  (05/01/2008, p.62, Emperor): 5 stars out of 5 -- "[T]his is the most satisfying of Hitchcock's Brit period, a thrilling, roller-coaster romp made before the phrase 'roller-coaster romp' existed."
