I was always under the impression that absolutely everyone was aware this was one of Hitchcock's best. I have never actually discussed the film with anyone though. After reading your review I asked myself why I had made that assumption.

It is definitely among Hitch's finest films, and it vies with THE LASY VANISHES, BLACKMAIL and TH EMAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH as his best British film. Absolutely terrific review here, I agree with Dark City Dame, you gave this your customary kitchen sink treatment, and you made me excited to go back again and watch it! You work here is exhausting!

Hi! T.S.,
I just read your review of Hitch's 1935 film "The 39 Steps"
with my "eyes wide open" and What more is there for me to say?..."Nothing"...
...Because you bascially,(bascially?!?) you did described every "major" and "minor" detail(s) about Hitch's 1935 "masterpiece," "The 39 steps." to perfection!
