39 Steps, The (1959)

synopsis


Richard Hannay (Kenneth More) meets up with a young nanny (Faith Brook) he'd come across earlier during the day. At the theatre that evening they attend a vaudeville performance by Mr. Memory (James Hayter), and afterwards Hannay takes her back to his London flat. There he discovers that she is not all that she appears, and when she is murdered in his flat, Hannay is plunged into a world of intrigue and espionage - with himself as the quarry. Before dying, she confesses to being a secret agent and imparts to Hannay some clues referring to a secret organisation run by a man in Scotland who are trying to smuggle some important plans out of the country. Hannay has only two days to find the head of the organisation with the victims dying words ingrained on his mind - the intriguing '39 Steps.'. He catches the train for Scotland but encounters the police who suspect him of murder. After being exposed to the police by a female passenger, Miss Fisher (Taina Elg), Hannay leaps from the train at the Forth Bridge and sets-off to complete his journey to Glenkirk on foot. This is the first of two remakes of Alfred Hitchcock's 1935 masterpiece: the second being Don Sharp's 1978 The Thirty-Nine Steps starring Robert Powell.
