@@aveg7899 The problem is the climax of the book (such that it is) is very wordy and not at all cinematic. Which is fair enough, as Buchan was not writing a screenplay.
Very cool, Mikegray. I got a delightful reply from him when I wrote of my admiration of his portrayal of Jesus way back when - late 70s. He was very humble. Loved him in this movie too, which I saw when it came out in the cinema.
A wonderful introduction with the late, great John Mills playing Scudder. Great sets, locations and costumes and all in all, a very enjoyable version of a Hitchcock classic !

Thank you so much for sharing this! Hitchcock's 1935 film will forever be a classic. Each adaptation has its own charms, but this one runs a close 2nd and is quite possibly my fave! Well paced, a memorable score, thrilling set pieces and a brilliantly starry cast! A wonderful version of the classic spy thriller.
I have now watched four versions of this movie, including the Hitchcock one. Interesting to see how different directors approach the same source material. Timothy West the Elder is always a plus in anything he's in.
Never quite worked out why Hannay didn't smash the clockface just below the minute hand, reach up and hang on to it, to stop it getting to 11.45? Would've saved all that climbing around.
Thank you, I've been meaning to watch this for ages. I dimly remembered it from the past, although a different production. This one was excellent with a top notch cast and production.
I love this film. All of the versions have their good points, but for me, this one takes the palm. Largely faithful to the book, a lovely score and the scenery is a feast for the eyes. Tried to buy it on DVD, but could only find the Region 2 edition, which won't play on a U.S. player. Thank you for posting this!
17:30 this part onward is the best portion of the movie. Love listening to the distance chimes of Big Ben in the distance and you never know what will happen. The Westminister Quarters make all the more reason to keep watching this movie. Big Ben is an icon of British history and an Icon of London. It seems everything was good around the clock.
My favorite version. Finally I can watch it again. I like the Kenneth moore version as well but I think each is different and adaptive to the time it was shot.happy you. Thanks for the upload.
The four versions of the 39 Steps are all worth watching and enjoyable. This one excels in that it is set in the period of the novel. However, Hitchcock uses humor as well suspense, which, overall, makes it, in my opinion, the best version of all. (The Big Ben scene in the 1978 version feels very much like the Mount Rushmore scene in North by Northwest or the Statue of Liberty scene in Saboteur.)
the best version ------from the seventies. I quite enjoyed it but much preferred the Donat & More versions. the acting in all 3 of these versions was excellent
@@johncarlisle6865I would have been eight and at junior school back then. Starring Reginald Wexford, Basil Makepiece and the adult Jane Banks (Mary Poppins fame).
It's not a bad effort, certainly better than the Kenneth More version. If you're a railway buff though, it's a tad cringeworthy with myriad mistakes everywhere. They should have filmed it on the Great Central rather than the Severn Valley for a start - at least it would have been the correct area and more realistic infrastructure.
It is a bit different from the Hitchcock version, but IMO this interpretation of "the 39 steps" makes a tiny bit more sense than in the earlier version ... even though both dont really make total sense. The music seems a bit off and "too happy" though, for a man that is fearing for his life while on the run from dangerous agents that kill easily.
historical note:- this film is set in the era immediately preceding WW1 but the type of monoplane hunting Hannay did not appear until after the start of the war.
Liked the Kenneth Moore version and the comedic scene whre he gives a science lesson at the all girl's school and there was a version probably produced by PBS where much of the comedy has to do with Women's rights.
This started off sort of well then someone took leave of their senses. Why the fu*ck can't the clowns stick to the book - it was a thriller not a hammer house of horror farce!!!
Some good scenes, but a largely preposterous script. The ending was ludicrous...Hannay was still able to climb all over the clock face after having his knee likely cracked. LOL! And he would do well to dump Alex seeing as she wasn't the least bit upset when her fiancé, David, was offed. Her being such a heartless wench doesn't portend well for their future together.
I like this version. I am well aware of the changes made to Buchan but for me they work such as Scudder in the station but more importantly St Stephen’s Tower and Robert Powell is a good Richard Hannay and David Warner makes a great villain and John Mills benefits any film. Also features Ronald Pickup as a henchman.
I've always enjoyed this film, but I have one question/issue. What is the villains' plan with Big Ben? How is this going to achieve the assassination of the the Greek PM? The film doesn't contain any dialog explaining the connection. The two devices are intended to do exactly what?
yes I was wondering that as well. I would imagine that due to the technology of the period, there would have to have been some kind of detonation device with a analogue timing mechanism. The timing would have been very important for their exact plans, making sure Karilodes was in position and coordinating with the escape plan. By using Big Ben's belfry, the are able to conceal the location of this device inside a very heavily-guarded Westminster, and have a time piece readily available in the clock there as well.
Why didn’t the authorities simply cancel the Greek PM knowing he was the assassination target? A bit basic to my mind! Movie might have been a bit dull if they had I guess!
Robert Powell seems to be a very versetile actor. I'm sure I have seen him in a few Hammer productions.I think he would have made a very good 60s james bond.
All the 39 steps bring a different take and I love them all.
I agree but I wish someone would make a version that truly reflects the book.

@stevouk that's true. This version is far removed from the book, though I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed it.
@@aveg7899 I have read the book now, loved it, there are elements from the book in all four films ,
I had the pleasure of cooking Robert Powell’s breakfast way back in the 80’s when he visited Aberdeen for a charity event
@@HoolyDooly-si2zz Pretty sure Mike wasn't advocating for a script change to include a (no doubt good) breakfast in Aberdeen.😆😉
Thank you for sharing a lovely memory. If you're not under a client confidentiality, would it be possible to let us know what he had for breakfast?
Very cool, Mikegray.
I got a delightful reply from him when I wrote of my admiration of his portrayal of Jesus way back when - late 70s. He was very humble. Loved him in this movie too, which I saw when it came out in the cinema.
Brill. Love this film. Cheers
What was he like?
What an amazing film! I watched it in my early 20s and I've always wanted to see this movie again. Thank you so very much from Romania 🇷🇴.
Love this film. Probably the best version of The 39 Steps
Simply superb! The suspense was nail biting.... I liked this much more than the more modern version.
A wonderful introduction with the late, great John Mills playing Scudder. Great sets, locations and costumes and all in all, a very enjoyable version of a Hitchcock classic !
Probably one of the best films I've watched. First watched it in 1991, still good to watch now. All star cast, proper British film.

Absolutely *my* best adaptation! But then I'm a 60's kid, so it was my era.
Nice❤❤❤

Timothy West the Elder is always a plus in anything he's in.
I just love this movie! Great score, great atmosphere, great action.
I appreciate you r mentioning the score! Always heard the music in the movies. Didn't pick up the composer in the credits, but good enough to look up.
Composer/conductor Ed Welch. Huh. Good score, never heard of him otherwise.
They don't make movies like this any more pity
I watched this movie with my dad long ago. So sad he is no more😢
One of my favourite films. The scene when ordering the brandy and soda is just superb.
Yes , but Robert Powell is not Richard Hannay unfortunately .
This is a brilliant well done film . Very upper class .😂
thank you, its a tense classic from my childhood, Christmas special or something ::)
Oh my gosh- those cars- and the castle. What fun! Watched all of them and I’m amazed at how creative each of them were. Delightful
Excellent film - I enjoyed it. Thanks for making it available.
Never quite worked out why Hannay didn't smash the clockface just below the minute hand, reach up and hang on to it, to stop it getting to 11.45? Would've saved all that climbing around.
First time I watched was 40 years ago,but still full of attraction for me today
It cracks me up that a cast member in this movie had played Jesus recently at that time
An excellent effort and perhaps my favorite film-version of this novel. Many thanks for the upload! Thumbs up!
Love this movie. Haven't seen it in 40 years. I love how it was 11:45 my time during the climatic scene in the clock.
Utterly brilliant movie. One of my all time faves!
I love the three adaptions starring More, Donat and Powell 👌
What about Rupert Penry-Jones? He portrayed Hannay too.
@@angelacooper2661 yes he was good too Angela 🙂
I love this film... many thanks.
The version which most closely follows Buchan's novel; with it's period setting. Definitely my favourite. Real 'Boys Own Adventure'
London of my youth - skyscraper and 'London Eye' free!
Lovely old version of a classic story 🙂
definitely the best version of the story.
Thank you, I've been meaning to watch this for ages. I dimly remembered it from the past, although a different production. This one was excellent with a top notch cast and production.
I've watched all The 39 Steps films, all entertaining, but I think this is the best one.
Thank you so much for that movie 🙂 my father took me to watch when it came out and I had fond memories of it 👍👍

Unfortunately Robert Powell does not represent my imagination of Richard Hannay. Robert Donat or Kenneth More were better.
To each, his own.@@ronaldreiss6197
one of the very best I have ever seen.....Thanks for posting...
A really good film and certainly the best of the three versions made imo.
There are at least four. The last one I saw was make in 2008!
The first version was made in the 1930s. It had some interesting scenes not in later versions
It must be the best adaptation of 39 steps ❤

Thank you for uploading! Wonderful film.
John Mills and Samuel West in the opening scene. What a wonderful cast !
Brilliant film it was film as for Severn Valley Railway highly station l am watching this in Philippines making me terrible home sick
I loved Robert Powell's turn as the wry, wise outsider/insider doctor in Shaka Zulu.
This is a gem.
Super good ending on the clock!!! 😀
Thanks for posting this
Been looking for it for a while
Thank you for your sharing🙏
1:24:53 the way they dashed for the clock was amazing once they figured it out
Brilliant film!!
Great film.
So good that it makes everyone think the ending was alway at big ben🎉
It's a bit like "North by Northwest" (1959) with Cary Grant and Eve Marie Saint.
Karen Dotrice played the little girl in the Disney movies _The 3 Lives of Thomasina_ and _Mary Poppins._
And she grew up to be so beautiful and elegant like Julie Andrews who played Mary Poppins! She even sounds a bit like her.😍
Wonderful film of the 39 steps, the very best version - most like John Buchan's original thriller.
I lovedthe big ben bit
My favorite version. Finally I can watch it again. I like the Kenneth moore version as well but I think each is different and adaptive to the time it was shot.happy you. Thanks for the upload.
More than a few winks to N by NW, and not only the plane chase !
Interesting pre-echo of Warner as the sadistic Cardassian interrogator/reprogrammer of Picard in Star Trek NG a couple of decades (?) later.
I had forgotten David Warner was in this.
This is up there among some other greats of which one is of my favs.. rouge male (peter O'toole)
Lol. I'm sure someone would have Robert Powell's 70s perm-fro in the 1930s. 🤣🤣🤣
Awesome movie!!! LOVE the cast, especially Robert Powell and David Warner!
It's the best of the films, watched the 50s version with the remarkable Kenneth Moore but even he wasn't enough to change my opinion.

Not to mention Harold Lloyd's "Safety Last" (1923). Cheers.

She must not have been to fond of her fiance. In the end she's waltzing off with Hannay like nothing ever happened, lol.
When I seen Robert Powell in this film🤔I said jesus😂

RS. Canada
Very suspenseful

It's unreasonable that Hannay unloaded Colonel's pistol
The train is a sad anachronism. All post 1950 engine and carriages. On the Severn Valley Railway.

I know
BUT THATS THE YEAR THAT MY MOM WAS BORN
Good version but all the versions, offer unique perspectives
Robert Powell is a great actor he should have received far more recognition but I think he was just too well balanced to mess with all the hype.

@14:23 "One horse dorp" is not a South African expression; it's borrowed from American "one horse town".
Ridiculous. He could have shoved the rifle out and stopped big ben without all the palaver of climbing out on the clock. Pathetic.
A very enjoyable film, thank you, but - be honest - the ending was a bit silly!
This had the most formidable enemy , really nasty pieces , did u see that knee capping . 25:32 .

This has very little to do with the Hitchcock version or the 1959 version but it is still a good watch
Pity the end went pear shaped
Had David Warner in the back of the Cab.
I hope he enjoyed the ride.

They should make a modern version of this film, but also title it the 39 steps.
