Donat also starred in the original film version of Scottish author, John Buchan's thrilling espionage tale, 'The Thirty Nine Steps'. The storylines in each of the other two movies ... in which Kenneth More - and later, Robert Powell - played the hero, Richard Hannay ... bore little resemblance to Buchan's book - as did the first. Personally, of the three, I best enjoyed the middle one ... in which a stuntman takes over from More in the scene where Hannay is portrayed leaping from a steam train and hanging onto the brownish-red girders of the Forth Rail Bridge to escape his pursuers. "Rivetting" stuff!!!Originally Posted by Arthur Little
