This film is so good, so much a part of my life, that it is difficult to know where to start. It has the pace, the wit and the suspense that characterise the best of Hitchcock. It also has Hitchcocks's best lead actor in the truly marvellous Robert Donat. His lightness of touch, flair for comedy and luxurious voice are a real treat. And Madeleine Carroll is no slouch and the interplay between them is the film's real heart. This is (surprisingly, given its age) the sexiest film Hitchcock ever made. Buy it and watch it and then watch it again.
The documentary on Hitchcock's early movies is delightful and the dvd makes the film look great. If the house was on fire and I had to rescue one dvd this could very easily be the one.

A Classic AdventureReview created: 02/08/09

This is a classic plot which keeps you captivated throughout, and one which I feel many authors have tried to emulate ever since.
A memorable film, and a valuable inclusion to anyone's film collection.

The 39 Steps (DVD 2001)Review created: 01/10/07
by:
) The original 1935 Hitchcock version starring Robert Donat and Madeleine Carroll . Allowances have to be made, as film making has moved on somewhat(!) since the 1930s and the sound quality could have been better. But nevertheless an insight into Hitchcock's genius.
Very loosely based on the novel by John Buchan, it has been re-made twice. First with Kenneth Moore and secondly with Robert Powell.
The DVD includes a documentary "Hitchcock: The Early Years" which was really interesting.
I bought this prior to a visit to the West End play - The 39 Steps - which is a brilliant tribute/parody of Hitchcock's film. I was not disappointed which either and would not hesitate in recommending both!

Alfred Hitchcock's The 39 Steps.This superb 1935 film has just about everything, including for the time special effects, Hitchcock at his best, with a superb blend of fine acting, Robert Donat is perfect as the incidental hero, with his electric on screen relationship with Madeleine Carroll. Forget this film is in black and white, as it trounces the later remakes. A top story set in the right era, almost magical in the forsight, bearing in mind what was to unfold in later years. Not many 1935 films are this popular, my personal favourite having been digitally remastered with extras, how could you miss this top DVD.

Excellent first edition of a classic by Hitchcock.In the old, Hitchcock style of using black and white film, this edition of The Thirty Nine Steps is far more atmospheric than more modern colour photography, and also, sticks more closely to the original story by Buchan.
A great film, acted by some of the stalwards of early movies. Something which can be reviewed many times and still remain fresh.
