The original version of the classic comedy thriller, starring legendary British heartthrob, Robert Donat, was a highlight of Hitchcock’s career.
While sitting in a London theatre watching a man perform dazzling memory tricks, Richard Hannay and the rest of the audience flee after hearing a gunshot. As he leaves, he encounters a young woman who asks if she can accompany him. Fascinated by her apparent terror, he agrees.
During the night, however, she is murdered in his flat – so Richard must avoid the police long enough to find the real killers and clear his name.
