The 39 Steps is as polite as Geneva and as wicked as a dozen G-men pictures in one.

Maclean's Magazine
Rating: 5/5 --
The scene in which Mr Memory is asked at the London Palladium "What are the 39 Steps?" remains one of 20th-century cinema's most gripping moments.

Daily Telegraph (UK)
The newest Gaumont British importation, The 39 Steps, should prove pretty conclusively that Alfred Hitchcock is the finest native director in England.

Alfred Hitchcock brings John Buchan's novel to the screen with characteristic wit and verve.

Radio Times
It's melodrama and at times far-fetched and improbable, but the story twists and spins artfully from one high-powered sequence to another while the entertainment holds like steel cable from start to finish.

Entertainment Weekly
Rating: 4/4 --
The 39 Steps is light, urbane, sexy as hell, and as so much of Hitchcock was so often, right about everything.

Product Description:
A classic British spy mystery, and one of Hitchcock's best, THE 39 STEPS is the story of an innocent man who struggles to prove his innocence. Robert Donat gets more than he bargained for when he brings home a mysterious woman (Lucie Mannheim) who confesses to be a British agent on the hot trail of a dangerous spy ring. The woman is killed in Donat's apartment and he immediately finds himself on the run, burdened with the charge for her murder and the dangerous knowledge of her mission. The film is distinguished by its pioneering use of contrapuntal sound effects, as well as the dynamism between Donat and his costar Madeleine Carroll.
