I have notified the winner of the WHV/TCM Greatest Gangster Films: Humphrey Bogart set, featuring “High Sierra,” “The Petrified Forest,” “The Amazing Dr. Clitterhouse” and “All Through the Night.”
The September giveaway is one of my fave Alfred Hitchcock films: “The 39 Steps,” recently put on DVD and Blu-ray by Criterion. First released in 1935, it’s a prototypical Hitchcockian story of a wrong man (falsely accused) on the run.
I think the reason I love this movie is that it has aged so nicely and works for a contemporary audience as well as it did 77 years ago. And its stars, Robert Donat and Madeleine Carroll are fresh, sexy and very funny. It’s a very charming love story as well as a murder mystery.
To enter this month’s giveaway, just leave a comment on any FNB post from Sept. 1-30. We welcome your participation, but please remember that, for the purposes of the giveaway, there is one entry per person, not per comment.
The September winner will be randomly selected at the end of the month and announced in early September. Include your email address in your comment so that I can notify you if you win. Your email will not be shared. Good luck!

you can’t miss with any movie from Alfred Hitchcock
Ooh – this is a good one!
Robert Donat is a fine actor. Loved him as Mr. Chips.
I LOVE Hitchcock…he is forever my inspiration!!!!
The film was in 1935 and today it is still fresh and exciting to watch. Who can forget the scream and the train?
Donat and Carroll are just wonderful in the lead.
“The 39 Steps” was one of film’s greatest moments; it merged the eye of silent film with the brilliance of sharp dialogue. Hitchcock at his finest!
