Negative Positive
Title: Classic Fun
Review: This was the first film version to tell the tale of Richard Hannay's quest to clear his name and stop a group of spies from passing on secret information. Wanted for questioning involving a murder Hannay (played by Robert Donat) must get to Scotland, a clue bequeathed to him by the murder victim. The problem is who can he trust? Can he get anyone to trust him? His one hope is a young woman he meets on the train to Scotland but she believes him to be the murderer. With time running out Hannay must find out what the spies are up to before he is caught and imprisoned for a crime he did not committ.This is a wonderful film, much better than the first remake starring Kenneth More. There are some wonderful touches of humour in the film and a good degree of tension.This is a good DVD transfer, very good for such an old film. The sound quality is fine although some people might be expecting something better. Considering the age and condition of the film this is a good print.
