This film was the first clear creative peak in Hitchcock’s British period, and the first fully successful film in his deepening oeuvre.

This film introduced one key Hitchcock first: the notion of the wrong man, the innocent bystander accused, pursued or punished for a crime he didn’t commit.

Nonstop string of action sequences, chase scenes punctuated by witty dial... read more

Robert Donat no doubt was the King of the 30's. He was one of the best talents to hit the screen with such delicate and precise acting that leaves you in wonder. A charming, graceful actor and a talent beyond it's time.

Robert Donat appears in this Hitchcock classic as Richard Hannay, a man wrongfully accused of murder and must prove his innocence in a sure-fire Oscar role. Accompan... read more

" The Ups: The ultimate "love-hate couple trapped together with handcuffs" movie. All the classic Hitchcock elements. Fast-moving. Great villains. The Downs: The movie ends a little bit abruptly after the threat is eliminated. "

A good movie

“Since I'm a huge fan of Alfred Hitchcock's work, I was really eager to check this flick. Apparently, it is his oldest movie I have seen so far (almost 80 years old now!) and, I must confess, I'm not a huge fan of his very old British features. I mean, they are old pretty good and entertaining, that's for sure, but expect for 'The Lady Vanishes' which really impressed me, none of them actually blew me away and this movie was not an exception. It seems that it is very popular story since it has been already adapted 4 times already and, apparently, this version is the most acclaimed one. Basically, it is one of those many British spy movies Hitchcock made back in those days and even though I enjoyed it, I couldn't shake the thought that he was still rehearsing before creating all his masterpi” read more

“A very creditable translation of John Buchan book. Hitchcock manages to maintain the tension quite well throughout the movie. Robert Donat does a fine job as the wrongly accused man on the run trying to prove his innocence by breaking the spy ring that was responsible for the accusation in the first place.” read more
