The 39 Steps - Robert Donat, Wylie Watson and Madeleine Carroll (1935)

Published on Mar 24, 2013
This spy story takes the viewers into the Scottish Highlands. Richard Hannay, who is suspected of murder, tries to get to a secret formula using the memory genius Mr. Memory. The police and a foreign power are chasing him. He flees to Scotland and meets the lovely Pamela. After initial reluctance she helps him. Following a turbulent escape, Hannay finds the formula that reveals the true culprits and can finally rehabilitate himself.

This early Hitchcock Movie has a typical "Hitchcock Story"! It is the story of the innocent hero, who has to prove his own innocence and restore his reputation. In some later films (sabotage, North by Northwest, The Lady Vanishes) Hitchcock works with the same scheme.
