'The 39 Steps'

If Phoebe, Holden Caufield's sister from "The Catcher in the Rye," loved this film then I certainly must love it because Phoebe is one of the many fictional characters from literature that is clearly smarter than I am.

I love watching this film and "Saboteur." I've never really given early Alfred Hitchcock a chance (hell, I've never really given pre-war movies a chance)and I'm really enjoying it because it's good film making a mere 20-odd years after the birth of the genre on a large scale.

And Robert Donat is simply dreamy.
