Agent, not the spy.

Well "I'm nobody", he is quite a nobody...

It's a relatively ordinary one in Alfred's film list, but it's still a very good story. That mistaken speech was quite a shock, with Hannay delivering a marvelous address. And the man is splendid, and that's why he could perform the tough task.

At least his spirit inspired me, I should say. Never let the thing bother your sleep. Do the busniess but not in it.

The movie is filled with comedy ingredients. Funny in lots of places.

Plus, I love the main actress.

    There is a flaw in the plot (how Smith died, he was still holding a map when he died). Sound (tune, screaming/train sound), space outside the picture, sexual comedy (milkman alibi, pov editing in dinner table scene), pov (abyss-Bridge scene,door,self)

    Hitchcock’s best part of the 30s, the Greek style including McGuffin has been formed, and Robert Townert’s acting is really funny.
