Friday: The 39 Steps


The movie is basically identical to the play.  There are a few differences, but with large stretches of identical dialogue, it's pretty much the same thing.  There's enough humor in the original that it's not so strange that they reworked it as a comedy.

One thing missing from the play that the movie has is that sweet ass autogyro above.  The play used a North by Northwest reference done with shadow puppets instead, which works, but still isn't an autogyro.
