The 39 Steps

Another Hitchcock classic I hadn’t seen.

Reading over its plot in Wikipedia, I’m struck by how similar the this movie is to North by Northwest. Same rhythms, same basic idea, same way of working the romantic interest in. I enjoyed the detailed, gritty look of London in this early film of the director’s.
