Madeline Carrol also excellent. She didn't have much to to in the Prisoner of Zenda, too bad. Hitchcock has a long list of great films and this is the 1st one. He did some good english films before this but this one really hits the mark. Lousy print but you can't help that some time. Still rivetting. The Lady Vanishes a few years later also A1.

Athought it is a good story, this movie version has only three things in common with the novel. 1 it is about spies and 2 the main character’s name is Hannay. 3. someone was stabbed in the back in Hannay’s flat But it was a man not a woman. After that there is virtually no similarity with the book at all. I studied this book for English Lit (why is a good question, for it is hardly a classic) about 60 yrs ago. I guessed there would be some differences, but I can assure anyone reading this that the book is far more exciting than this movie. I think there is another version (still further removed from the book) that is more comedy (of errors) than drama. If you want a story that is true, and about spies and very much more thrilling than this…watch the 2020 movie with Benedict Cumberbutch called ‘The Courier”
