Review of The 39 Steps (1935) by Sumit S — 13 Jan 2013
Not just the twists & turns to build up the suspense & mystery but supporting it with clever use of humour as well to keep it lighthearted, The 39 Steps is an early achievement in the career of a man who went on to become one of the greatest directors of all time, if not the greatest.
Packed with a great screenplay, wonderful British humour, honest performances & impressive editing, The 39 Steps is a rollicking mystery thriller that begins on a high note & keeps that tone throughout its runtime & is one of those early films in the career of a master filmmaker that laid the foundation of a career that, arguably, still remains unequalled.
