    Thank you so much for sharing this! Hitchcock's 1935 film will forever be a classic. Each adaptation has its own charms, but this one runs a close 2nd and is quite possibly my fave! Well paced, a memorable score, thrilling set pieces and a brilliantly starry cast! A wonderful version of the classic spy thriller.

    The four versions of the 39 Steps are all worth watching and enjoyable. This one excels in that it is set in the period of the novel. However, Hitchcock uses humor as well suspense, which, overall, makes it, in my opinion, the best version of all. (The Big Ben scene in the 1978 version feels very much like the Mount Rushmore scene in North by Northwest or the Statue of Liberty scene in Saboteur.)

    It is a bit different from the Hitchcock version, but IMO this interpretation of "the 39 steps" makes a tiny bit more sense than in the earlier version ... even though both dont really make total sense. The music seems a bit off and "too happy" though, for a man that is fearing for his life while on the run from dangerous agents that kill easily.

Instead of being a good humored, patriotic chap who gets caught up in intrigue and succeeds in showing his quality, Robert Powell acts suspicious and selfish right from the start.

    yes I was wondering that as well. I would imagine that due to the technology of the period, there would have to have been some kind of detonation device with a analogue timing mechanism. The timing would have been very important for their exact plans, making sure Karilodes was in position and coordinating with the escape plan. By using Big Ben's belfry, the are able to conceal the location of this device inside a very heavily-guarded Westminster, and have a time piece readily available in the clock there as well.

Also features Ronald Pickup as a henchman.

    They should make a modern version of this film, but also title it the 39 steps.

    It's not a bad effort, certainly better than the Kenneth More version. If you're a railway buff though, it's a tad cringeworthy with myriad mistakes everywhere. They should have filmed it on the Great Central rather than the Severn Valley for a start - at least it would have been the correct area and more realistic infrastructure.
