Movie Notebook #9: "The 39 Steps" (1935)

"The 39 Steps" (1939) - Vivian Lee
-also would like to add that when Richard Hannay takes in the strange spy woman "Ms. Smith" the situation plays out as bizarre but so natural. And every time he pulls the herring out of the otherwise empty freezer I laugh. I was also curious about the Hayes Code in regards to the scene where the two runaways (pretending to be newlyweds) have to share a room and she removes her stockings. I wonder how risqué that was considered.
