And Robert donate acting with madeleine Carroll good story

*No Spoilers* This is an easy Sunday afternoon film, just after a lovely Sunday roast with all the trimmings and an apple and blackcurrant crumble with custard for pudding.It is quite simple in its delivery and does require a little suspension of reality but for its time, it is a decent enough yarn, that is well told. The actual picture quality is not very good in some places, especially when trying to show the glorious Scottish countryside. But in all honesty, these shots are fleeting and will not effect your overall enjoyment of this classic. It is by no means Hitchcock's finest film but it is worthy of a watch if you fancy an old black and white classic for a change.Recommended drink for viewing - whisky or a glass of milk.Recommended snack for viewing - A Cold meat sandwich.Sit back relax and be transported into another time.I do not receive any payment or free goods for writing these reviews. I am just happy to share my views on my purchases with fellow like minded Amazonians in the hope that you may find it helpful.

No matter how many remakes are made this is the greatest 39 Steps, from start to nail biting finish.

A great film.

Bought a few classic movies for movie night. This arrived promptly and as described.

Iconic Director Alfred Hitchcock's First Foray into The Innocent Man on The run Theme. he would use it frequently Throughout is movies Most notably in North By Northwest but here in his movie The 39 Steps it as never been bettered. Based on The classic John Buchan novel British pin up. Robert Donat is Richard Hannay an innocent man on The run in a case of mistaken identity. This would olso be The first movie in witch Hitch would feature is Trademark blonde Here Madeleine Carroll fits The bill perfectly. like His earlier classic The Lady Vanishes The 39 Steps is filmed beautifully particularly The Scottish scenes with Hannay being pursued Through The Scottish Highlands. The scene were Carroll removes her wet stockings while Handcuffed To Donat is still Quite daring viewing it Today Though its just one of The many Highlights in This splendid movie. The 39 Steps as had various remakes since and all surprisingly Good in Their own right But again Hitchcock's original version remains a shinning example of British cinema at its very best. again like The earlier hit The Lady Vanishes The 39 Steps as been voted into The British Film Institutes all Time Greats British movies. Needless To say This exceptional Blu-ray release is worthy of The classic movie Extras include The superb Documentary Hitchcock The Early years covering all of Hitch's movies made in England along with The early silent classics. a full feature length audio commentary for The movie and stunning behind The scenes and production photos for The film round out a pretty neat package for This charming movie comes Highly recommended.

A fresh, early, tale from the master of suspense. Less polished than his early work, but also more unpredictable in the story twists. His later movies, although masterpieces of cinema, were a tad formularized at times.

Very enjoyable movie it takes me back to the old movie days . Enjoyable , something to cherish.

El material llegó en buen estado y funciona perfectamente. El ambalaje no cerraba por complete pero no se salió nada del mismo.

É un film del 1935? Beh, a parte certe "note d'epoca" sembra un film fatto oggi, con in piu cio che di quel periodo lo rende per fortuna diverso dalle banalita di oggi: stile, sottinteso al posto del gridato, capacita di definire ambiente e personaggi con pochi tocchi efficaci.Non tra i capolavori di Hitchcock, ma solo perche il maestro é riuscito a fare anche piu che in questo film.
