I studied Hitchcock in college but focused mainly on his works in Hollywood. It feels weird that I haven't seen some of his early, British classics. But last night I finally watched 39 Steps. It is beautiful. Beautiful shots with all the shadows and lines of expressionism. Great acting, especially from Robert Donat. I often forget how brilliant he was. And the plot is perfect, the transitions and dialogue, every revealing moment. You can see how Hitchcock would go on to make some of the best films of all time. If you are in the mood for a classic mystery, this may be it.
