39 STEPS (1935)

Richard Hannay visits the Music Hall to see a show where "Mr. Memory" displays his intellectual ability to answer random questions. During the show a brawl starts and someone pulls the trigger on a gun.  All the visitors including Mr. Hannay escape the Music Hall after the shooting, once outside Mr. Hannay meets a young woman.  The woman wants to go home with Mr. Hannay and it appears that the woman is a spy.  She then tells him that she needs to go to Scotland and says something about 39 steps.  Later that night the woman comes stumbling into Mr. Hannay's room and she has been stabbed in the back.  39 Steps is a suspenseful film that is both witty and intelligent and will entertain and baffle the audience.
