    The 39 Steps is my favorite & most watched movie . I've seen all versions at least 50 if not more times! I love it. I love the 1930's version, the mini-series& a newer British made film. But the 1959 is my favorite.

      @@christersvensson4948 Yes, it was British made and followed the book 39 Steps more closely than any other production. It's very good, and I think it had 4 or 5 parts to it. It's been yrs. since I watched it and it was on U-tub. Hope you find it Chris! Regards, also to you!

    A firm favourite, one of the very best British movie's. The director gives the film a fifties spin on the original, Kennith More makes the part his own and is supported by an excellent cast. Lot's of old cars, steam trains and some great views delivered by the cameraman. Quality!

    !!!!SOOOO GLAD the iconic "stocking scene" was included in this remake. In the 1935 version, it was considered quite "sin"-sational.
    Also, the genius of the director to have her give "that interesting look" of sweet appreciation; as he hung her damp stockings to dry.
    Those few seconds added an interesting dimension & depth to her character. Tiana Elg, such non-threatening beauty, intelligence & talent.
    I've always thought of her as a European version of Tippi Hedren; another underappreciated "screen Goddess".

    The Hitchcock origional is an all-time great with Robert Donat playing the lead role with great humour.
    The Robert Powell one has a stellar cast and sticks very much to the book.
    This version is my favourite simply because of the era of the 50s, I know that the director did this against his own wishes because of the Rank contract, but I find this a lovely whimsical take on the film so much that it could almost be another film altogether.

    I prefer the more tense and suspenseful 1939 Hitchcock version, where you felt more on edge throughout, rather than this easy going version, in which Hannan's humorous and cynical nature is overdone, turning it into more of a comic al feeling. Nonetheless, I think the director, Ralph Thomas, was overly harsh in his self critical review, wherein he stated: "Well, Rank owned it, and I was under contract, and they asked me to do it. So I asked Alfred [Hitchcock] about it, and he said 'If you have the chutzpah to do it, you go ahead, my son and do it. You won't do it as well as I did it.' And of course he was right. His film was a wonderful picture. I think mine was a piece of effrontery that didn't come off, and on the whole I regretted it."

      The late 1950s and early 1960s were the time of the Suez crisis, London Smog, sexual abuse within the Anglican church... and the closer you look into that era, the more Colonel Blimps retired in 1935 you'll find who said in 1960 that the glory of the Empire had died and been buried along with Queen Victoria.

      Regarding the wheel position, the long shots show a right-hand drive, always, whereas the interior shots are, admittedly, ambiguous, presumably for the purposes of framing the shot to allow the audience to see both actors.

    My nephew and his wife own the house that used to belong to 39 steps Author John Buchan.
    It's a beautiful large house located on a sizable portion of land in an idyllic rural setting in Peebles Scotland.

    Tania Elg's voice is 'Identical' to Legendary Audrey Hepburn, the immaculate gracious actress of all-time. The Water Fall scene seems to be the same 'Waterfalls' as those in the classic B & W file 'The Luck of the Irish' with Ty Power/Anne Baxter (but that film is supposed to be in Ireland, not Scotland).

    6:29 Heavens, look at the demolition of that fine terrace. Imagine what they'd look like and be worth now. There was greater loss of good and fine housing in the 1960s from planners and developers than there was from the efforts of the Luftwaffe. I recall in Tottenham (then a peaceful area) in the mid 1960s seeing innumerable charming Edwardian and Victorian streets razed and tower blocks and low-rise tenements put in their place. By the 1970s, the social decay drove us and other professional families out, leaving what is now not much better than a ghetto.
