i got a chance to watch 39 Steps this weekend. watching this and Saboteur within a two week span allows me to notice the patterns in hitchcock films. i can see it even into the 50s with North By Northwest. good guy gets tangled in some intrigue through no fault of his own; get wrongly accused of a crime and has to chase about clearing his name (usually with the help of a cute dame by his side). the end usually involves climbing some local monument (statue of liberty, mount rushmore, etc.). good stuff, really.
