DVD: The 39 Steps

This B/W DVD is a remaster of an Alfred Hitchcock film made in Great Britain in 1935.

It is a good murder mystery that stands on its own, but it is also fascinating to see that Hitchcock loved certain themes and developed them in many films throughout his long career. I did not know that he started making films in the 1920s.

In The 39 Steps, Hitchcock gives us a clue at the beginning as to what will lead to the solving of the mystery, but it was too subtle for me and I missed it.

The DVD also contains an interesting documentary of Hitchcock's early films.
