Title: The Best of the 39 Steps
Product review: What makes this the best of the 39 steps? Taina Elg, of course, both naieve and feminine and at the same time, a match for Kenneth More who, while expressionless at times, nevertheless plays a man of the world who refers to Taina Elg (Miss Fisher), his captive audience via handcuffs, as "Fisher". And when those stockings are removed in the guest house, it is sexual tension without crudeness at it's best. The picture also captures accurately the country side of England & Scotland as well as steam transport of the time, an innocent society in a world gone by. Made in 1959 and 48 years young. The see-sawing nature of their relationship works powerfully, dislike to respect,neutrality to love, and sets it apart from other productions of The 39 Steps. There is only one 39 Steps for me...... ah yes, Kenneth More and Taina Elg, a couple if ever there was one. Maybe Kenneth More can act after all.
