Hitchcock's early works. Innocent good people get involved in mysterious events and become the great heroes to save the world. This plot is a bit similar to North by Northwest, but compared to it, it is heaven and earth.
Not at all exciting, not romantic at all, the protagonist is cute, but the opposite feels like an idiot, the relationship conflict is not at all advanced, and the plot from A to C has no substantial sense of rhythm. Unreasonable, unexpected pleasure. In an ambiguous intermediate state, the effect of this type of mode is very humble. The main reason is that the plot is not ups and downs enough, the editing techniques are not clever, and the rhythm is slow.

The 39 Steps quotes

  • Crofter's Wife: Do London ladies look beautiful?

    Richard Hannay: They do. But they wouldn't if you were beside them.

    Crofter's Wife: [to Hannay as her husband walks in] You ought not say that.

    Crofter: What ought he not to say?

    Richard Hannay: I was just saying to your wife that I prefer living in town than the country.

    Crofter: God made the country. Is the supper ready, woman?

    Crofter's Wife: Aye.

  • Crofter: Aye. I might have known. Making love behind my back.
