This comment is particularly appropriate in connection with <i>The 39 Steps</i> (1935), for in this movie, Hitchcock stripped out anything that interfered with the movie's pace. He readily sacrificed credibility in favor of a headstrong rush of exciting sequences (with magnificent results). Hitchcock would adopt a similar approach in <i>North by Northwest</i> (1959), and consequently, the movies are frequently compared. <p><a href="default-nf.htm">Go to the review</a></font> </body>
