I read the original novel by John Buchan. It is objectively terrible. The movie, though, is glorious and I think the line, "This finger, Mr. Hannay?" is one of the most thrilling moments in all of film history. In short, the movie is all Hitchcock -- and owes nothing to Buchan. — PolitiTweet.org

THE THIRTY NINE STEPS is a movie I would show to people who hate old movies. @TCM_Party #TCM
