Synopsis
The 39 Steps: The best known of Hitchcocks British films, this civilized spy yarn follows the escapades of Richard Hannay, who stumbles into a conspiracy the involves him in a hectic chase across the Scottish moors -a chase in which he is both the pursuer and the pursued. Adapted from John Buchans novel, this classic Hitchcock “wrong man” thriller encapsulates themes that anticipate the directors biggest American films (especially North by Northwest), and is a standout among his early works.
Secret Agent: Early on in this World War I story you will recognize the clever Hitchcockian twists. It begins with a British soldier returning from the war and discovering that he is dead... well, not really dead. Its just that the British government found it convenient to fake Edgars death. Whats more, they then ask Edgar to assume yet another name and hunt down a particularly nasty German agent in Switzerland. With that, the chase is on...
The Man Who Knew Too Much: Married couple Bob and Jill Lawrence are vacationing in Switzerland with daughter Betty. A Frenchman who befriends the family is shot through the heart during a dance with the young mother. Before dying, however, he whispers a secret... What follows is an unusually fine dramatic story, filled with hallmark Hitchcockian twists and turns, breathless chase scenes and superb acting.
