Mystery,
intrigue, murder- ingredients for the classic thriller, 'The Thirty-
Nine Steps', based on John Buchan's famous novel. Robert Donat is the
dashing hero, and innocent man suspected of a crime, striving bravely
to clear this name, in a favourite Hitchcock scenario. Madeleine
Carroll – perhaps the first of the director's 'ice-cold blonde'
heroines – hinders his efforts to escape his pursuers, until. The
chase takes us to the Scottish Highlands and back to London for an
exciting finale. The Cast included John Laurie and Peggy Ashcroft. An
entertaining and at times amusing adventure story. Thanks to
'projectionist' Paddy Kelly for showing it. The evening ended with a
pleasant supper.
