The 39 Steps (Alfred Hitchcock, 1935)

6.5/10
I thought this one was pretty average, compared to the other Hitchcock movies I've seen. The plot only really picks up when the wrongfully-accused hero and the woman caught in the middle meet up and we partake in their enjoyable odd-couple shenanigans. The thing is, if you've seen It Happened One Night (released one year earlier), you've seen that sort of thing done much better and with much better chemistry.
