The 39 Steps
Why this pick
Its innocent traveller caught in an international conspiracy, brisk chase structure, and dry humour make it a direct precursor to the suspenseful, playful spirit of The Lady Vanishes.

04
Arabesque
Why this pick

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
English tourist Iris Henderson (Margaret Lockwood) arrives at the "Gasthof Petrus" inn in the country of Bandrika, "one of Europe's few undiscovered corners". Iris is returning to Britain to marry a "blue-blooded cheque chaser", but an avalanche has blocked the railway line. The stranded passengers are forced to stay the night at the inn, including Charters and Caldicott, cricket enthusiasts who want to return to England to see the last days of the Test cricket.
