Alfred Hitchcock delivered one of his most influential and enduring thrillers with THE 39 STEPS (1935).

This clever, fast-moving film follows the unwitting Richard Hannay, played by the charismatic Robert Donat, as he’s swept into a web of espionage after a mysterious woman is murdered in his London flat. Wrongly accused and on the run, Hannay must outwit spies, decode secrets, and survive a string of misadventures across the Scottish countryside—handcuffed to a sharp-tongued stranger played by Madeleine Carroll. With its mix of romance, tension, and cheeky humor, THE 39 STEPS is now considered one of Hitchcock’s finest British films.

THE LADY VANISHES (1938)
Saturday, June 14th, 4 p.m.

A fast-moving twisty mystery, THE LADY VANISHES (1938) is Hitch at the peak of his game.

Romance, mistresses, spies, a pair of kooky cricket fans, and that’s just the start of things. Returning to England for her wedding, Iris (Margaret Lockwood) befriends an aging governess (Dame May Whitty) on a train, who suddenly disappears. But as Iris begins to search the train, the other passengers claim the woman never existed. As Iris begins to investigate, she finds that each passenger has their own ulterior motive for claiming that the governess never existed. Iris is determined to find the woman, but the journey to unravel this web of mystery takes many surprising twists and turns.

The films in this series are presented as originally created during a different time period and may contain negative attitudes, language, and depictions of people and/or cultures. The Los Angeles Conservancy does not condone these representations.

Based on a 1915 novel by John Buchan, THE 39 STEPS brought Hitchcock international recognition and helped launch his Hollywood career.
