What was this 60s film?amm

Thirty-nine steps?

From a search it says it’s the 3rd version of The 39 Steps.

I agree, Thirty Nine Steps. I have seen all versions and read the book.
You will have guessed, I love that film!

Thanks 😸

It's a great story. The 39 Steps.
It's been produced as a film 3 or maybe 4 times. I prefer the 1959 production starring Kenneth More.

Without looking it up, I think the three versions starred Robert Donat, Kenneth More and Robert Powell.

Then there was another tv version with Rupert Penry Jones, (maybe spelled incorrectly).

My favourite was the version with Robert More.

My favourite was the version with Robert More.

Now that’s a new one!

I also preferred the Kenneth More version didn't know there was a tvversion. Great film.

Fuzzy brain.

Thanks for pointing out my error!

Have watched most versions of the 39 steps.
I think my favourite was with Kenneth Moore. A really good story with a plot that makes some offerings today seem lame x

As a child I saw a very early version, I think with Robert Donat - my mother was keen on him.

We had no TV then and the cinema was a very rare event, so I was a bit freaked out by the scene in which the woman he’s brought home, is doing her face or hair in front of the mirror, then her eyes give a sudden start - to the reflection in the mirror of a hand taking an ornamental sword, one of a pair on the wall behind her…

Cut to Robert Donat coming back into the room to find her dead, with the sword in her back. 😱

Trivia - I live near to the beach steps which inspired the name of the book.

One of MrA's favourite films. Think I must have seen it hundreds of times in different guises so it's no longer one of my favourites

Trivia - I live near to the beach steps which inspired the name of the book.

is it near Wapping ?

I always thought the 39 steps were the steps leading to the bell tower at Big Ben. Where Hannay hangs off the minute arm of the clock.

So did I.

I loved the Kenneth Moore version.

The story then moves to London, and finally to the seaside town of Bradgate, which is modelled on Broadstairs in Kent where Buchan had spent a holiday in 1914. The 'steps' in the title of the novel are located in Broadstairs, leading down to Stone Bay.

I have always loved anything with Kenneth Moore in it!!

i preferred the robert donat one, with john laurie as the abusive crofter.

thanks to Marydoll for the definitive explanation.

So the ending of the film was not true to the book ? Well I never knew that.

Just been watching the Kenneth More version on Talking Pictures.

Oh, what innocent times!

Re my previous post about the Kenneth More version.

Where exactly did ‘The 39 Steps’ come into the story? 🤷‍♀️

I missed it somehow.
