Good Sunday afternoon
By DDenby (7 reviews) from London , 25 Jan 2006[Highly rated reviewer]
Not having seen it for years, and it being my neighbour's favourite film of all time, we watched it last Sunday. Quaintly old-fashioned adventure in which an innocent by-stander, Robert Powell, is thrown into an espionage plot, steps up the mark and pulls Britain back from the brink of war - hoorah. The acting is a little wooden and dated. Nonetheless, a very enjoyable, plot-based, untaxing watch.- Was this review helpful to you?

(12)Good fun
By mikey1 (229 reviews) from bournemouth , 25 Jun 2011An enjoyable and entertaining film despite showing its age somewhat. Kept me engrossed all the way through and though slightly fantastical still very good and my favourite version from the book.- Was this review helpful to you?

JOLLY GOOD FUN
By candid (218 reviews) from TUNBRIDGE WELLS, ENGLAND , 08 Nov 2010A load of old imperialist rubbish really but awfully good fun. Robert POWELL is jolly good and offers a lot of deadpan humor to flesh-out his character. He is ably supported by the very good British character actors needed to overcome the rather incredible plot and the thin characterization.
The theme of protecting the UK former colonial possessions is well-disguised in favor of action-adventure and a slap-bang ending. Superior tosh. Apart from the humor, this is a serious version of Bullshot as well as an ironic take on Bulldog Drummond.- Was this review helpful to you?

Not even third best out of three
By Joe Bloggs from on the banks of the Tees, Middlesbrough , 27 Mar 2009Slow pace everything is spelt out but still lost in a boring script.
Good chase across the Scottish highlands. Poor ending at Big Ben.
Not worth the climb. Save yourself the trouble take the lift.- Was this review helpful to you?

The 39 Steps
By a customer from england , 03 Mar 2009A good yarn with lovely scenery and a silly ending which sends itself up with the gripping line 'give me your hand'. Watch it to get the point.- Was this review helpful to you?
