The 39 Steps is my favorite & most watched movie . I've seen all versions at least 50 if not more times! I love it. I love the 1930's version, the mini-series& a newer British made film. But the 1959 is my favorite.
I didn't know they had made a mini-series; could you let me know where one can find it? I can search for it here on youtube I guess. Kind regards Chris
@@christersvensson4948 Yes, it was British made and followed the book 39 Steps more closely than any other production. It's very good, and I think it had 4 or 5 parts to it. It's been yrs. since I watched it and it was on U-tub. Hope you find it Chris! Regards, also to you!
A firm favourite, one of the very best British movie's. The director gives the film a fifties spin on the original, Kennith More makes the part his own and is supported by an excellent cast. Lot's of old cars, steam trains and some great views delivered by the cameraman. Quality!
That ladies and gentlemen is how to make a movie . Absolutely enchanting . Taina Elg is still with us at 94 years of age . What a beauty, no botox , tattoos, fake tan or fake anything . Modern women could learn so much from her poise , elegance and presence .
@peacenow42 Did you really think I was comparing a medical necessity with the vanity of cosmetic surgery ? I can't imagine you are that dim , but instead have chosen to overreact because of the gravity of your daughter condition . There is no comparison between the two extremes, and please don't try to pretend there is . Modern women have the freedom in the Western world to wear pretty much what they please . Not all men are accepting of the trends modern women are indulging in . Why should we respect women who don't respect themselves ?
How civilized people, how stunning people were and what a great window into 50s lifestyle, fashion and decor - can't wait to see this remake, the original was unmatched.
Wonderful adaptation of the 39 Steps Full to overflowing with every character actor of British films Wonderful Kenneth More and the lovely Miss Elg A little gem
!!!!SOOOO GLAD the iconic "stocking scene" was included in this remake. In the 1935 version, it was considered quite "sin"-sational. Also, the genius of the director to have her give "that interesting look" of sweet appreciation; as he hung her damp stockings to dry. Those few seconds added an interesting dimension & depth to her character. Tiana Elg, such non-threatening beauty, intelligence & talent. I've always thought of her as a European version of Tippi Hedren; another underappreciated "screen Goddess". THANKS for posting this. 🙂
Never seen any version of this until today. This movie is nearly 20 years older. What peaked my interest was a visit to Balquhidder. I learned this movie has scenes filmed on location here. Wished I had known this while we were there. Beautiful place! MacGregor Despite Them!!! What an actually time capsule this movie. Glad the time was invested in watching it! Hello from USA. Many thanks for posting this video Paul.
Wow! Spy flicks have come a long way in the last 65 years. This is an great "vintage" movie. Hard to decide if it's a tongue-in-cheek or a downright satire. Kenneth More is at his best and the Scots countryside is beautiful. Thanks for posting.
Nanny was a particularly intelligent character. I only wished that for Faith Brook it had been possible to be given a bigger part in such a brilliant film. Yes I know she had to die.
Love all 3 versions all wonderful in their own way. The Hitchcock origional is an all-time great with Robert Donat playing the lead role with great humour. The Robert Powell one has a stellar cast and sticks very much to the book. This version is my favourite simply because of the era of the 50s, I know that the director did this against his own wishes because of the Rank contract, but I find this a lovely whimsical take on the film so much that it could almost be another film altogether.
Better than the earlier Hitchcock version. Better quality film, the story line is easier to follow and beautiful English and Scottish countryside. Lots of humor, too. Thanks for posting.
Taina Elg, phew a stunningly, classy beautiful woman!!!!!! and the Union of South Africa A4 Pacific in its heyday!!!! I like this film, a few little plot holes but made in more less caring innocent days and could watch it whenever! Thank you so much for posting very enjoyable!
You must watch More in Flame Over India, or sometimes its called The Northern Frontier. Its very exciting and Kenneth More is fantastic, it also has Lauren Bacall. A must watch.
I watched this, I believe, several years ago, but forgot the details, and it still is entertaining. Beside the 1935 version, there is another, more recent version from the 80s or 90s. All are somewhat different and each one is enjoyable for me. I also enjoyed Brenda De Banzie, whom I remember from The Man Who Knew Too Much.
Love the 39 steps… a cracking film, I really enjoyed seeing this version again …. But I have to confess that the 1935 version, starring Robert Donat and Madeleine Carroll, is my all time favourite. Love John Buchan’s novel too. Thank you so much for uploading it.
6:29 Heavens, look at the demolition of that fine terrace. Imagine what they'd look like and be worth now. There was greater loss of good and fine housing in the 1960s from planners and developers than there was from the efforts of the Luftwaffe. I recall in Tottenham (then a peaceful area) in the mid 1960s seeing innumerable charming Edwardian and Victorian streets razed and tower blocks and low-rise tenements put in their place. By the 1970s, the social decay drove us and other professional families out, leaving what is now not much better than a ghetto.
Delightful and entertaining movie. It reminded me of Hollywood productions from those days. But so much more fun to watch because of the English accent. Thank you very much for sharing.
*A truly remarkable film I never tire of watching* Of the three versions it's dificult to choose the best as they all have their goodpoints. Critics chose the first version by Alfred Hitchcock as the best, however methinks that's down primarily to 'sychophancy'. My own vote for best version would be this one, with its perfect casting and its Charm. The terrific Robert Powell as Hannay version a very close second. *Tis truly a gem of a film*
Truly may I give testament to this fact. There were things come down on golden wheels to make this film. All the production crews -- everybody! Now in olde age, I listen to the verve and vitality of the musicians down to complete silence.
saying you have watched the same movie 50 times is about as stupid and lame as saying you have never read a book. It is nothing to brag about. You need to widen your horizons. Have you read the book this is based on.
@@PetroicaRodinogaster264 one is curious, who was it that claimed to have watched the film 50 times? At the same time, what is wrong with that? to assert because someone has watched their favourite film multiple times should not be bragged about!! Who made you the 'taste police'? Surely if one has chosen to enjoy either the one version or indeed multiple viewings of the three versions up to 50 times tis their business. They are making a comment on a movie NOT presenting a Scientific Paper. I respectfully ask you to consider the following; since the film came out (i refer to this version Not the earlier) one has only had to view the film less than once per year since its release, do you consider that excessisve?
@@Fyodor48 Nothing wrong with saying one's read a book or seen a film 50 times. There are certain songs, certain records of certain arrangements I've studied and transcribed a dozen times to learn and incorporate as a stylist. So, yeah. As long as things are available, let us knock ourselves out.
Tour de force for More. Comedy remake of Hitchcock drama. Viewing this 65 years later, one can readily see the abysmal deterioration of society since then.
Unfortunately, This and Hitchcock's film decided that Mr. Memory crap would be better than John Buchan's original plot. The 39 steps was the key to the mystery. These are the number of steps leading up to the Big Ben clock chamber. Read the book, then watch the 1978 film starring Robert Powell. This film stays faithful to the novel.
I first came into contact with the 39 steps whilst at school in the1960s, through a wonderful teacher called Gordon little, who lived in a castle in rich hill, county Armagh, and I have never been without a copy since.
I have read all the Richard Hannay novels. As much as I liked The 39 Steps, my favorite is Greenmantle. I believe it does reflect the German effort to link up with the Muslim or Arab world in the First World War.
Very good version of the movie. I think this is better than the original one done in black & white, in the later 1930's. Thanks for posting this ---- and no commercials! Yay!!!
This was quite a flick! Unrealistic in some things e.g. they must of had some strong bladders to hold out so long without having to go! Enjoyed it thoroughly! Typical British humor!
One simply has to love Kenneth More - what a sense of humour, what a skipjack! These days, movie plots and actors are unhumorous and doomsday-moodish, not worth watching.
This film and the Hitchcock version are utter crap with that ridiculous Mr. Memory crap. The 1978 film is the only one that stays true to the John Buchan novel.
Tania Elg's voice is 'Identical' to Legendary Audrey Hepburn, the immaculate gracious actress of all-time. The Water Fall scene seems to be the same 'Waterfalls' as those in the classic B & W file 'The Luck of the Irish' with Ty Power/Anne Baxter (but that film is supposed to be in Ireland, not Scotland).
Opps , they were in the front seat when they crashed the car and got out of the car from the back seat. He was also driving a left hand drive car in Great Britain but got out of a right hand drive car ! Continuity ? Still an enjoyable vintage movie.
I have just checked, and I see that she was never in the front seat, so, of course, one of them would have to climb over the seats to join the other, and being a gentleman ... need I say more? Regarding the wheel position, the long shots show a right-hand drive, always, whereas the interior shots are, admittedly, ambiguous, presumably for the purposes of framing the shot to allow the audience to see both actors.
I wonder if Hitchcock saw this version. I expect he did. I think he pinched the idea of a man hiding in a cornfield for North by North West. Or vice versa.

@carolinehowden2951 ---> Hello. The first version (filmed in black & white) was made in 1935.... with Robert Donat and Madeliene Carroll. I think the sound quality and the voice of the actor (Kenneth More) is better in this version. You may want to watch that one also. 20+ years in film and sound technology made a difference. iirc, there was another version made in the 1970's.
@@gusloader123 Yes I saw that there was another version of the movie, I am not into remakes as often they take away from the original (I mean modern day remakes). I never thought I would enjoy watching old movies, but I am. One of the ladies on the train is 'reading' a book named (if I am right) Anatomy of a crime. I had just watched that one before this one.
@@caralinehowden2951 - IMO, the older movies are usually much better. A) Usually the people have their clothes on and B) The language is very much better.
A marvelous film! What's interesting is how the times in which it's made, and remade, are reflected in the films bearing its name. The Hitchcock version has a sense of menace from a very different source than this one. Plus the 1935 version had Madeleine Carroll 😍
I read John Buchan's "The 39 Steps" when I was 11 (circa 1960). I found the book absolutely riveting trying to find the key to those 39 steps. Unfortunately, the 2 films from 1935 and 1959 provided the same insipid plot that had nothing to do with any 39 steps. Instead of an exciting finale in the tower of Big Ben, the film goer is given utter crap about Mr. Memory. The best version of this classic novel is the 1978 film starring Robert Powell. It maintains all the mystery and excitement of the book.
@@thesmallerhalf1968 Like his contemporaries Graham Greene, Somerset Maugham and of course Ian Fleming, John Buchan was an establishment insider. That is establishment spelled S.P.O.O.K.
Both Dr Finlay and Dr Cameron are here, though not working together yet. The original black and white Dr Finlay's Casebook can show a clean pair of heels to many much more modern series.
"Glenkirk" is in reality Killin. The Falls of Dochart are a give-away, and I think the narrow bridge that Kenneth More pushed the bicycle over was the Bridge of Lochay. Funny to think that Andrew Cruikshank (aka Dr Cameron) played Sophia Loren's father in El Cid, and fought in a sword-fight with Charlton Heston. Nice to see the car ferries over the Forth (pre-Road Bridge), and yes, I think that was Waverley Station in Edinburgh.

Thoroughly enjoyed this delightful version of the The 39 Steps. Great characters and beautiful cinematography and engaging actors. Thank you.
More ruined the film.
One word. Remarkable.. ❤❤❤
What a wonderful film. never seen it before and so glad I did tonight. Kenneth more is a great actor 👏 super film

Yes I agree the older version is definitely the very best. Love Kenneth Moore.
Kenneth More did “ charming” better than anyone, except perhaps David Niven. My favourite version of this story!
Wonderful rendition of the Hitchcock classic!! Thank you for posting ❤😊
Are you sure that is it a rendition of the Hitchcock movie, rather than one of the novel by John Buchan?

Excellent version of the story. Kenneth More as always excels. 1:30:38

The guy playing Mr. Memory was Mrs Onedins father in the Onedin Line series in the 70's on British Television

He was also Mr. Tembs in the British classic TV series: Are You Being Served?
Thanks for uploading this movie, I had never seen it, although when it came out I was just a toddler. But have heard of the movie.
@carolinehowden2951 ---> Hello. The first version (filmed in black & white) was made in 1935.... with Robert Donat and Madeliene Carroll. I think the sound quality and the voice of the actor (Kenneth More) is better in this version. You may want to watch that one also. 20+ years in film and sound technology made a difference. iirc, there was another version made in the 1970's.
@@gusloader123 Yes I saw that there was another version of the movie, I am not into remakes as often they take away from the original (I mean modern day remakes). I never thought I would enjoy watching old movies, but I am. One of the ladies on the train is 'reading' a book named (if I am right) Anatomy of a crime. I had just watched that one before this one.
@@caralinehowden2951 - IMO, the older movies are usually much better. A) Usually the people have their clothes on and B) The language is very much better.
@@gusloader123 True!!
A marvelous film! What's interesting is how the times in which it's made, and remade, are reflected in the films bearing its name. The Hitchcock version has a sense of menace from a very different source than this one. Plus the 1935 version had Madeleine Carroll 😍
One of the greatest old classics! British do it Better!
I read John Buchan's "The 39 Steps" when I was 11 (circa 1960). I found the book absolutely riveting trying to find the key to those 39 steps.
Unfortunately, the 2 films from 1935 and 1959 provided the same insipid plot that had nothing to do with any 39 steps.
Instead of an exciting finale in the tower of Big Ben, the film goer is given utter crap about Mr. Memory.
The best version of this classic novel is the 1978 film starring Robert Powell. It maintains all the mystery and excitement of the book.
Rather like the James Bond stories, the original books are the epitome of the art of writing.
@@thesmallerhalf1968 Like his contemporaries Graham Greene, Somerset Maugham and of course Ian Fleming, John Buchan was an establishment insider. That is establishment spelled S.P.O.O.K.
Both Dr Finlay and Dr Cameron are here, though not working together yet. The original black and white Dr Finlay's Casebook can show a clean pair of heels to many much more modern series.
"Glenkirk" is in reality Killin. The Falls of Dochart are a give-away, and I think the narrow bridge that Kenneth More pushed the bicycle over was the Bridge of Lochay.
Funny to think that Andrew Cruikshank (aka Dr Cameron) played Sophia Loren's father in El Cid, and fought in a sword-fight with Charlton Heston.
Nice to see the car ferries over the Forth (pre-Road Bridge), and yes, I think that was Waverley Station in Edinburgh.
Is Killin indeed
Well done !
Better than expected video, but with chaos.
I love all the 39 steps films.
