Classic 5 for £30 title review 1: "The 39 Steps"

This "late 30s Hitchcock masterpiece" regards the tale of a guy who encounters a spy who is killed in his house, and for which he is pursued to Scotland and back for murder whilst trying to get to the truth behind what she was killed for. Basically it's a bit fucked up, there is a lot of artistic license, but it's pretty funny even if most of the things we found funny were probably not intentional. Not too long or overly laboured at any point, it's quite undemanding. It will probably remind you of Miles Cholmondley-Warner from Harry Enfield's Television Program.

We enjoyed it, I'd certainly watch it again.
