the 39 steps is another one of those early hitchcock propaganda films that i love. it is maybe the most famous of his from this period, but i think there are others that are better.. sabotage & secret agent i think are more fun rides.
BUT check out the giant bow collar on the heroine!
starched cotton it seems, with a black tie cinching at the center. this will be so easy to diy.. i'm gonna grab a couple of big men's button down shirts next time i am at the thrifts to make my own. this sort of thing would have just been pinned on to a plain black suit jacket. i'm thinking of making mine reversible, maybe a striped cotton on the othere side :)

thank you elenalu!
for some reason i have two copies of the lodger, but i haven't watched it in a few years.. i will add it to the teetering stack of discs by the tv for rewatching:D
the lady vanishes was just added to hulu.com as well and i watched it again the other day. i love mystery movies on trains.. so much tension in a confined space, so many nooks to hide in, so many rooftop chases....
