Times (UK)
5 stars out of 5 -- [T]his is the most satisfying of Hitchcock's Brit period, a thrilling, roller-coaster romp made before the phrase 'roller-coaster romp' existed.
Empire
The 39 Steps is as polite as Geneva and as wicked as a dozen G-men pictures in one.

Maclean's Magazine
The Thirty-Nine Steps neatly converts its essential implausihility into an asset by stressing the difficulties which confront its hero when he tries to tell outsiders about the predicament he is in.

TIME Magazine
In Hitchcock's hands, however, this well-known espionage adventure provided the basis for a new sort of thriller and a new sort of comedy.

Village Voice
The atmosphere of adventure and mystery created at once in the opening sequence in an East End music hall is excellently maintained throughout.

Monthly Film Bulletin
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.
