Pre-Hollywood Hitchcock is always interesting to see like 39 Steps Lady Vanishes, and this film

[@user-mw7hh7em2b]

I love, "The 39 Steps"!

[@keithpritchard1181]

As an adult, Desmond Tester (the boy in this film) hosted a children’s show in Australia, where he introduced the Bee Gees in their first-ever TV appearance. At the time, Barry Gibb was the same age that Desmond was in this movie. As a regular viewer of the show I remember it clearly, and was surprised and delighted when a video clip of the event came up as a recommendation one night here on KZbin.

[@Staggo_L]

What a classic. Great acting, cinematography, direction. It even has Mae West.

[@sarahmarks6743]

Hitchcock was a genius and Oskar Homolka what an actor never a bad performance .Like all great actors its not his dialogue its his facial expression's and body language . A joy and pleasure to watch thank you

Great snapshot of London street life in the 30's. I wondered when it was that Hitchcock started making cameo appearances in the beginning of his films.

[@kevinquinn1993]

Did Hitchcock make a cameo in this one? If he did I didn't catch it. If so, would you mind posting the time signature? Always fun to check those out. Thanks.

@@yasua7000 Thanks for the tip! Looks like he did a wee bit of acting (or rather reacting) and not just a stroll through the scene. Very Hitchcockian...

[@kathrynlouyse1504]

Oscar Homolka as Verloc was the perfect choice with the deep eyebrows... one of the most memorable lines... after killing his young brother-in-law he comments "Perhaps if we had a kid of our own" as though this would solve all his crimes... and the inclusion of Disney's "Cock Robin"... brilliant.

Brilliant thriller. One of the best.

[@robinanderson5853]

This is an excellent Hitchcock, he is a master of suspense, and tonality. To see it in black and white brings out all the excellent tonality and enhances all those photographic angles. I would like to talk about the picture more but it would ruin the suspense.

[@sclogse1]

Hitchcock said he ruined the suspense. (Dick Cavett) But that's what happened in the book, which wasn't ruined because of the different medium. The book amazes me. Written in 1907, It's incredibly cinematic.

[@paperchain1239]

This is an amazing insight to a genius who was frighteningly ahead of his time

[@mikesilva3868]

A masterpiece! A thrilling masterpiece that only Hitchcock could conjure up - and with so much successful savoir faire! Thanks a million for showing it!

[@FOX007-um1wr]

I just turned this on for background noise while I did my chores, needless to say chores did not get done. LOL This movie grabbed me from the start. I learned some things to, like roasted bullocks, a half a bull roasted over a fire pit, yeah that sounds good to me. And strawberry jam and tomato sauce. I have never heard of that, but I guess it's a thing. It might be really good. I read that a restaurant in NY uses it on a shrimp dish, 20% tomato sauce, and 80% strawberry jam.

This film caused outrage at the time: not for killing the kid, but for killing the pet!

Great movie.

[@aspenrebel]

When I was a kid, I was hanging about the big red cement mail box just at stairway entrance to Picadilly Circus Tube entrance. Waiting for my parents to come out of hotel. I'm an American from Boston. A number of hours later we were in Liecester Square, and heard that a bomb had exploded in the same exact mailbox!!! Can't remember what year it was. Maybe 1970, 72, 74. Alot of such things have always gone on in London.

[@j.sumner6999]

In 1942, Hitchcock directed a movie in the US called Saboteur. It was nothing like this one.

[@steveblundell7766]

Agreed, Saboteur was like an American remake of The 39 Steps

[@donitaforrest9064]

...and they lived traumatically ever after. The End

A good bit of foresight on the part of the writers, that's for sure!!! Five years... er, three years after this was made... well, we all know what happened.

[@williamdobkowski6101]

A Hitch gem; good print.

[@aspenrebel]

"Simpson's" was there in 1936? I've eaten there. My older sister was with my parents and me. My father was appalled when she asked the waiter for Ketchup! Even I wasn't that uncouth. I think "Simpson's" is long gone, isn't it?

[@aspenrebel]

Oh, "Simpson's" first opened in 1828, but closed in March 2020. A reopening date may be announced sometime in 2024.

[@Cromwelldunbar]

@@aspenrebel Thanks: didn’t know it closed; might that have been caused by the Covid period ie lack of custom?

[@aspenrebel]

@@Cromwelldunbar well I googled it. Info says Simpson's is temporarily closed. One statement said it closed three years ago (or 4 years ago, March 2020) due to the virus. So I don't know if it reopened or if and when it's going to reopen. I was trying to check out the menu. It was difficult to read. I think it said they had a Sirloin Steak for just £22. But they don't have fries on the menu. "mash" must be mashed potatoes.

[@aspenrebel]

Maybe I was thinking of "Stone's Chop House" as being long gone and closed. I had eaten there too. I liked that place.

In the 1930s power outages were commonplace. These folks act as though they've never had to cope with the associated problems.

Why are the old black and white movies so much shorter ? Not complaining. Just observing. I actually like the length of these old movies. Much more than the movies today. Which I can easily lose interest in possibly because of my ADD but I just feel it's a more reasonable amount of time to be sitting and watching a movie without losing interest...

Who did the shifty character in the aquarium represent?

[@bennyboogenheimer4553]

The Old, "Never trust the foreigners" and what was that about a mustache, when he was by the Turtles? The j's sure loved to beat the Wat drums early. Funny how fast she got over her brother's death? And wasn't the Detective, ever so sympathetic to her. about him? "Let's Run away, just you, and I?" lol
