(Blu-ray, Criterion Collection)
Robert Donat gets caught up with spies and assassins at a London music hall. He is given a map by a dying woman which leads him to Scotland, pursued by police who want him for her murder. Train passenger Madeleine Carroll gets involved when Donat uses her to hide from the police. He also gets help from a friendly farmer's wife, though her husband's jealousy almost gets him caught. It all gets unraveled at the London Palladium. Another exciting Hitchcock yarn, although the formula of innocent victim forced to prove their innocence, and an overabundance of trains, is starting to wear thin.
