This original film version of the mystery classic became one of Alfred Hitchcockโs early triumphs, spinning the suspenseful yarn of Richard Hannay, a vacationing Canadian man (Robert Donat), accused of murder.
Pursued by both the police and enemy spies at the same time, Hannay attempts to unravel the dangerous enigma of โthe 39 steps,โ with humorous and hair-raising predicaments befalling him at every turn.
