Re: 39 Steps. Overrated?

No. Absolutely not.
It would be stupid to look at details like the knife scene as the whole film is for today on the " naive side " as are the criminal novels from that time.
R.Donat is a wonderful actor ( Bye bye Mr. Chips is comind on DVD, by the way ), and it is pure joy to follow the images and the plot, and the characteres, without forgetting the humor. Hitch British period save the last is wonderful, with still an heavy influence from the German movie.....from Young & Innocents ( may favorite ) to The Lady vanished...all are just encountable pleasures.
Taking the farmer´s wife as she sleept in his man bed...?
Or a " petit menage a trois " my friend?
No paise high enough in this genre.
I love it.
And the scene in the hotel...They are just a runaway couple.....Wonderful!
