The 39 Steps

[hils]

I've seen a couple of versions of The 39 Steps before this one and it's interesting that they all seem to be different. The Hitchcock version will always be the definitive one for me as I used to watch it a lot when I was little.

This one tonight was quite good though, although I found it quite slow for a lot and then the ending seemed quite rushed. The female lead was interesting at least and Rupert Penry-Jones is quite pretty *g*

None of the films are anything like the book, but this one at least was set in the correct era with a vague nod to the original plot (no suffragette/spy in the book).

I rather enjoyed it, and Rupert Penry-Jones is very pretty (and married to Dervla Kirwan!).

Hee! I don't think I've ever seen him in anything before

I have seen him in
a) Spooks (good)
b) Persuasion (tight breeches)

I never got on with Spooks but Persuasion...*loves Austen*

Is not the best version of persuasion but is worth a peek for the pretty. I mean Rupert.
