39 Steps (1935)

The master of suspense, Alfred Hitchcock, delivers a witty, classic thriller that film historians and fans alike regard as an unparalleled cinematic masterpiece. When violence erupts at a London music hall, an ordinary man (Robert Donat) rescues a woman (Lucie Mannheim) who confesses that she is a spy and is being hunted by assassins. When the woman is later killed, Donat is accused of murder and finds himself thrust into the middle of a dangerous game of international espionage! Madeleine Carroll -- the progenitor of all Hitchcock icy blondes -- Godfrey Tearle and Peggy Ashcroft round out the stellar cast.
