    I didn't meet Alfred Hitchcock, but I did see him, at a distance, at the Union Plaza casino in Las Vegas. He was standing at a roulette wheel, writing down notes. I did not approach him, but will never forget seeing him. What a legend.

    I find this version so much more entertaining than the Hollywood version 20 years later.

    I just watched The 39 Steps, and this is another fine spy story pre-WWI. Imagination here, most WWII films lacked- they had the real stories and spies telling them. Hitchcock is still in a class of his own. Compared to the remake, I like this one a lot more, especially the acting by both parents and Betty. The final scene was realistic- 2 frantic parents staying calm to help their terrified child. They are more genuine, where Doris Day was just sappy (sorry if you're her fan- I grew up avoiding her movies). I guess some of us older people simply prefer the old to the new. TY- great film &HD!

      This one is often called Hitchcock's worst film... Although his very first films are also pretty poor... The problem with this film is Hitchcock did not control the film editing... He remade the film in 1956... the film with James Stewart and Doris Day in 1956 because he was displeased with the film... This film (1934) might also be called the beginning of Hitchcock masterpieces because everything pretty much was after this film...

      The 1956 film is considered to be a remake despite "featuring a significantly different plot and script," that from Wikipedia. That article also includes this snippet:
      "In the book-length interview Hitchcock/Truffaut (1967), in response to fellow filmmaker François Truffaut's assertion that aspects of the remake were by far superior, Hitchcock replied, 'Let's say the first version is the work of a talented amateur and the second was made by a professional.'"
      I myself have no comparison to contribute at this point as it's been decades since I've seen the 1956 film, and I watched this one for the first time tonight. I thought it was great, especially the fact that the ever creepy Peter Lorre plays a major role.

    Peter Lorre with his little musical watch. Note how much use Hitchcock makes out of the watch as it throws off the mother's timing at the match and the daughter scowls at him "I'm NOT a little girl." The Hitchcock creed is if you put a musical watch or a little enamel pin in the movie you make it come alive within the story.

    Lorres best rolls were with Greenstreet and Bogart. At least a dozen films between them. Of course Casa Blanca and The Maltese Falcon legandary films made them movie legends.

    Peter Lorre just needs to smile to look sinister. Or something. Sad, maybe. What character.

    Although not as evident in this film, Peter acted with his entire body. Watch his English films, and watch his hands! They are never at rest. Lighting his cigarette; popping a piece of popcorn; repositioning a glove. Peter was the most camera aware actor ever. If someone stole a scene, they had to steal it from him. It was always his scene. Only his best friend Humphrey stood a chance. But I figure Peter decided when.

    Lorre, a social democrat and close friend of Brecht, a marvellous Weimar actor who could not translate across to Hollywood. He was sentenced to be type cast as a European of criminal persuasions, at once comical and menacing. Hitchcock plumbs some of Lorres depths. Many thanks for a gem of a flic!

    Wow! Much has changed in drama spy thrillers over the past 89 years! And, fortunately, Hitch was better by the end of his career than at the first (as this pedantic flick illustrates).
