This is my favorite version of the 39 steps. Rupert Penry Jones and Lydia Leonard have amazing chemistry (and what a pleasure it was to see them again in WhiteChapel!). The music is so wonderful as well and the scene by the fire manages to be alluring, sensual and sweet at the same time, so the director is not shab either! For those of you who don't like, you don't have to watch. Haters gonna hate. Probably just jealous of Rupert.

The thing that people forget, is that you can have a dashing male lead, but a strong woman playing opposite makes them both shine. He is a bit bewildered by her and he likes her bravery. Lydia is such a wonderul actress. You can watch them both again in the White Chapel Series and see them chew the scenery without even looking like they're working at it. Unfortunately White Chapel kind of jumped the shark along the way, but the ensemble cast was great.

Absolutely not any kind of adaptation of Buchan's novel. Hannay never had anybody by his side in the book, woman or man and that made the book far better IMO.

Glad that you're open to enjoying both, despite having watched the Hitchcock version (or did you watch the 1959 one?) first! What I like about this one is that if I had randomly watched a few minutes of it anywhere in the movie, I would know what book I was watching. The Hitchcock one hardly has any overlap with the characters and storylines in the book; if it hadn't been titled the same, and if the main character hadn't been Richard Hannay, I could have watched most of it without realising what I was watching. It's like if you put soda in a bottle that had held chocolate milk, and you keep being reminded of chocolate in between fizzy swallows. And that was the style of most of Hollywood's book --> adaptations, so audiences at the time probably loved it for that. It's very much of a standard, early 1930s film, and anyone who loves that genre will be able to enjoy it on those merits. For my part, it was really fun for me when I first stumbled across this version a decade ago, and discovered it was actually the same substance inside as it said on the bottle! A little of a different recipe than the original story, but still recognisable! This one borrows some scenes from the 1935 & 1959 movies, and adds its own things, but it is much truer to the *feel* of the book. It's the same KIND of story, that early spy novel genre, and Richard Hannay is actually recognisable as the character from Buchan's 5 novels! Rupert Penry-Jones was a great choice.
