39 STEPS, THE
starstarstarstarstar
Along with The Lady Vanishes, this is one of Hitchcock's best British films, and a prototype for so much of what would follow in his American career. It features what would become the classic Hitchcockian premise: A guiltless man struggles to prove his innocence while the world turns inexplicably against him. Robert Donat is on vacation in London when he meets a mysterious woman (Lucy Mannheim) who tells him of a spy ring which she is trying to crack. When the woman is murdered, he flees to the small Scottish town she's ciricled on the map and, with the help of the lovely Madeleine Carroll, sets out to solve the mystery and save his own life.

I'm one of those who has ...

Question: I'm one of those who has loved Lost from the beginning. Someone (maybe you?) likened it to reading a novel, and I felt that way, too. I loved the flashbacks and I loved learning more about the characters, especially the bombshell things, like Locke's wheelchair. My husband, however, has insisted from the beginning that he felt the writers were making it up as they went, throwing in every unbelievable and unexplainable thing possible, and would never be able to tie it all together. After reading Michael Ausiello's interview with the executive producers, I find that my husband may be right. One made the statement that it "boggles (his) mind" when people ask what the numbers mean because he doesn't think that question will ever be answered. I mean, excuse me? They put the numbers in everything imaginable and they are mystified that people wonder what they mean? Don't get me wrong: If I know there's a payoff to be had, I'm willing to wait.
