Filmsback to top

Movie Madness
A marvelous movie showing all week long.

The Master of Suspense: Alfred Hitchcock Classics-PLCMC Fall Film Series
“THE 39 STEPS” (1935) 86 minutes; B&W Starring Robert Donat and Madeleine Carroll One of Hitchcock’s richest achievements from his ‘early British period’, produced a few years before he embarked for Hollywood. Its tale of an innocent man pursued simultaneously by the police and the actual villains is constantly entertaining – indeed, it’s a theme Hitchcock would reprise, with few variations, throughout his lengthy career. Robert Donat is superb as the beleaguered Richard Hannay.
