The 39 Steps (1959)
6/10
The 2nd 39

I recorded this expecting the Hitchcock version, but ended up with this the 1950's version instead. So now I have seen three versions of this film and although not terrible unfortunately this is the worst of the three, though that is not to say this is a bad film. Kenneth Moore plays Richard Hannay here, the man framed for murder that leads to a desperate man hunt all tied in with the mysterious 'boomerang'. This version goes for a lighter more comedic touch but that does not stop the movie being fun, with some quaint set pieces and some proper British stiff upper lip bravado from Kenneth Moore. Enjoyable and worth another go.
