Anachronisms: A one point Hannay is being chased by a bi-plane which fires at him with twin machine guns. These guns are firing through the propeller. This requires a synchronization gear (aka an interrupter gear). The scene takes place in 1914 but the first synchronization gear was not installed on an aircraft until March 1915. moreFAQ

"The 39 Steps" is about a man who is mistaken to be the killer of a British spy. He has to run for his life, and to protect the secret that the spy hands him.
I am pleasantly surprised by the quality of "The 39 Steps". The plot is thrilling, delivered in the right pace and way. The leading guy is constantly on the run, there is not a minute of boredom in the film. The constant twists gets viewers thinking, and wanting more of the plot to unfold. Rupert Penry-Jones is convincing as a upper class gentleman with brain and courage. I enjoyed watching "The 39 Steps" a lot, and I look forward to more films starring Rupert Penry-Jones.
