Play4film's point of view:
This is the most famous film from Alfred Hitchcock’s English period and a gem worth watching again and again. Perfect interplay between the actors, exemplary staging, prodigious black and white photography by Bernard Knowles; “The 39 Steps” is a story of spies and of innocent persons who are held guilty and vice versa. Jon Buchan’s novel of the same name inspired the two remakes, the first by Ralph Thomas in 1959, the second by Don Sharp in 1978.
