But this isn't an American film.

A movie made more than 70 years ago, and I still couldn't predict any plot twist. The humor is still up to date, as I laughed at many scenes. No one does it like Hitchcock. A must see.

one of those overrated films that people who don't really know american classic cinema history elect as a masterpiece. the story is superficial and boring (how many times does the hero have to escape so the audience understands he is the hero??) and, in the end, unrewarding. there are no actual characters, just figures in a boring plot, saved from total wreck by ocasional but unsufficient flashes of direction.

"one of those overrated films that people who don't really know american classic cinema history elect as a masterpiece" Sort of like those who don't know a fucking thing about Japanese cinema claim Seven Samurai is a masterpiece.

None of the film versions of Buchan's novel bear much resemblance to the original story but this adaptation is far and away the best of the bunch. Falsely accused of murder, Richard Hannay flees to Scotland where he has several adventures including a witty and erotic interlude where he is handcuffed to one of Hitchcock's archetypal blondes. Great chemistry between Robert Donat and Madeleine Carroll in these roles....

One of Hitchcock's earliest "wrong man" thrillers. A good, engaging film, but perhaps executed with a bit too stiff and formal of a style -- Hitch would have real fun with the formula in many, better films to come.

Arguably the greatest of Hitchcock's British period and one that stunningly incorporates all that we love of Hitchcock.

Sheer perfection-Hitch's first truly modern film and still one of the greatest ever made.

Excellent film, Hitchcock's style shines through as bright as day. And the acting is stupendous.

I just watched this last night. I really enjoyed it. It covers some interesting ground for the main character, it's more than just a Thriller, it has some great comedic moments that I think steal the show. Of course amazing direction and shot beautifully.
