THE ENDURING GENIUS OF ALFRED HITCHCOCK: THE 39 STEPS","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is Hitchcock’s masterpiece from his first phase of filmmaking, in England and in Germany, before he moved to Hollywood. Nominally based on \u003cem\u003eThe Thirty-Nine Steps\u003c\/em\u003e, a 1915 novel by John Buchan about a man who is chasing an enemy and is, in turn, being chased by the police, Hitchcock’s 1935 film goes its own way and in the process establishes a genre to be imitated for decades to come, including by Hitchcock himself, who called \u003cem\u003eThe 39 Steps\u003c\/em\u003e his British \u003cem\u003eNorth by Northwest\u003c\/em\u003e. Starring Robert Donat as Richard Hannay; Madeline Carroll as Pamela, who finds herself handcuffed to, and on the run with, Hannay; and a very young Peggy Ashcroft as a farmer’s wife who can’t resist helping the fugitive, this lively classic by the Master of Suspense was ranked by the British Film Institute as the fourth-greatest British film of the 20th century.
