This is like a premake (as opposed to a remake?) of the vastly superior North By Northwest. You can see Hitchcock gaining strength and flexing muscles here, and there are moments that work: the chase across the moors, the fancy party hosted by the genteel man missing a thumb, etc. But it's still early going for Hitch, and he hasn't quite figured out the editing that would come to mark his golden era movies. There are scenes that don't connect; little elisions that pile up and create confusion about character motivation or plot movement. Donat also lacks Grant's wry amusement and overall screen presence.

Robert Donat ("Hannay") goes to the theatre to see a man with an incredible memory; but instead becomes embroiled in a tale of cloak-and-dagger antics that see him accused of murder and forced to fle More
