Very dated thriller that's not very thrilling

Richard Hannay sees an attempt on a woman's life, and rather than tell the police, steals her handbag to get in contact and hear her story of stolen missile plans being smuggled out of the country. When she is murdered by the nameless bad guys at his flat, he goes on the run from the police to find her contact and the stolen plans in the Scottish highlands. If you like ridiculous plots, ham-acting, cheerful-whistle-while-you-run heroes and 50's style casual sexism, this is for you.
Thorughly Enjoyable.

Hitchcok's original. If you are a Hitchcock fan, you know what you are getting. If you are a fan of BBC2 midweek matinees, you know what you are getting. If you are new to Hitchcock, you might be better off starting with his latter American catalogue, and work you're way back. This was an inspiring film, with almost every scene copied repeatedly in many films sense.
The 39 Steps

Enjoyable for a wet afternoon. Kenneth Moore gives an over rated performance in this 1959 version of the movie.
