39 Steps


39 Steps - DVD (2008)
This is a BBC remake of an Alfred Hitchcock classic movie. Moved to 1914 as the English are about to enter the war, a bored English secret service agent becomes involved in a plot to bring the Germans close to war.
A little bit dry to begin with, the movie got better midway through which was helped by the lovely Scottish scenery and the equally beautiful Rupert Penry-Jones. He plays a good hero, and I like that his character and the leading lady seemed to actually have some chemistry and looked like they liked each other.
A solid 3/5 - a good Sunday winter afternoon DVD.
