It does a respectable job not only with the story's adventure but with its humor.

Movie Metropolis
Director Ralph Thomas falls far short of the Hitchcock standard, but the new version deserves a "good" in the ratings.

Maclean's Magazine
A slicked-up version of the tale and only very vaguely connected with what I remember of Buchan's book or his hero.

Product Description:
This remake of the Alfred Hitchcock thriller does not have his flair for suspense, but director Ralph Thomas keeps the action moving, offers some comic highlights, and the story itself carries the 90-minute running time. Richard Hannay (Kenneth More) is at a vaudeville show when a shot rings out and some commotion forces him to protect a young woman by bringing her home. His protection fails after she is stabbed by an assailant who escapes. She dies -- but not before she tells Richard there is a secret organization run by a man in Scotland, trying to smuggle some important plans out of the country. He must stop them, and as soon as she mentions 39 steps, she expires. Richard has only two days to find the head of the organization, get the plans, and foil this espionage attempt. Along the way to Scotland he is literally hooked up with an attractive schoolmarm after they are handcuffed together, and his misadventures continue with her in tow.
