If someone had written 10 minutes worth of character into the picture, and anyone but Leslie Banks and Edna Best had been cast, I probably would’ve enjoyed this as much as The 39 Steps. The two movies are almost night and day though. Superior script, superior casting. Pat: Your comments carry a lot more weight with me than Francois Truffaut's. So far, I haven't heard from anyone else who prefers the remake except for Truffaut. And Peter Lorre is genius. Damian: Thanks for your comments, as always.

I do like both movies and each have various points in their favor (favour), but I'll go with the earlier version too.
