So last weekend TCM did a whole weekend of Hitchcock films, and I taped a couple that I had never seen, one of which was The 39 Steps.
Wow!
So that's an unbelievable film, so good I decided to eat some happy mushrooms and watched it again. Works really well with psychedelics, btw.
Beautifully filmed, with plenty of Hitchcock surprises on the roller coaster ride. His addition of the female characters almost turns a testy spy thriller into a romantic comedy, yet Hitchcock doesn't let the tension totally go away, so you're on the edge of your seat all the way to the end.
And what an ending! The last five minutes are pure magic, and the final shot of the holding hands put a major lump in my throat.
In a word, brilliant.
