The 39 Steps | 2008 | Lydia Leonard & Rupert Penry - Jones

[@keithnaylor1981]

Sheer bliss - exciting story, tear-jerking romance, magnificent period detail and vehicles, and beautiful Scottish scenes! All without no Fu King ads! Thank you.

[@jabine59]

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.

[@trh1493]

the one with Robert Powel is good too...

[@tomkeating5178]

I love it that if someone has a different opinion, they must be haters😅😅😅

[@DanBeech-ht7sw]

If they're going to mess with the Buchan story, they might at least have given us a happy ending.

[@jamesdewane1642]

No aeroplane had a machinegun in 1914. That anachronism was blatant and unnecessary. The pilot might have had a pistol, or there could have been a second man with a rifle, but they marred the movie with that scene.

Ditto that!

[@jabine59]

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.

[@mmendi1114]

The scenery was masterfully chosen and by itself a piece of art...

A suffragette and an adventurer. Superb combination and an excellent rapport between Penry-Jones and Lydia Leonard. Most faithful adaptation of Buchan's original novel? Brilliant soundtrack too.

[@BerniceRogers-e2y]

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. There was far more suspense and intrigue with him working alone. The Germans popped up in very good disguises which meant I couldn't put the book down.

[@philipallen-729]

​@user-le5eq8cc3b True, but the single hero working against the might of the German Empire, would not have worked so well on the screen.
