Hannay is craving for change when fate decides to throw it right in his face; he finds a young German woman, a femme fatale, dead in his living room. Hannay flees and the police start a chase. The 39 Steps is about the thrilling twists and turns common to a Hitchcock murder story, you will be left at the edge of your seat anticipating disaster and living the last second escapes of Richard Hannay as he is pursued from his genteel London apartment to the rugged Scottish Highlands for a murder he did not commit.

John Hopkins plays the role of Richard Hannay and justifies completely the acting margin his character offers. The director’s does a marvelous job also.
