A review by trlenon
The Thirty-Nine Steps by John Buchan

3.0

Easy going adventure, simply told. John Le Carre has updated this genre and added much complexity. It is interesting to see how much Alfred Hitchcock rewrote the story to make a fast-paced and popular movie. There isn’t much left of Buchan’s plot in the film, although Robert Donat was well cast as Hannay. The original story would have made an equally intriguing film.
