Synopsis: The 39 Steps is a heart-racing spy story by Alfred Hitchcock, following Richard Hannay (Oscar winner Robert Donat), who stumbles into a conspiracy that thrusts him into a hectic chase across the Scottish moors—a chase in which he is both the pursuer and the pursued—as well as into an expected romance with the cool Pamela (Madeline Carroll). Adapted from a novel by John Buchan, this classic wrong-man thriller from the Master of Suspense anticipates the director’s most famous works (especially North by Northwest), and remains one of his cleverest and most entertaining films.

Studiocanal have announced the UK Double Play release of two restored Hammer Film classics on 7th May 2012. The Reptile and The Plague of the Zombies - both from director John Gilling - are part of the joint restoration project between Studiocanal and Hammer Films.
Both films were scanned and restored in 2k then mastered for Blu-ray, and both feature brand new half-hour documentaries directed by official Hammer historian Marcus Hearn, featuring interviews with original cast and crew, critic Jonathan Rigby, broadcaster Mark Gatiss, as well as experts on Bray studios (Wayne Kinsey) and Hammer’s music (Professor David Huckvale). Further details are TBC. (A CONFIRMAR)
Artwork below followed by some stills from each film. Please note these still are provided for promotional purposes by Studiocanal with no additional information provided. Due to the resolution of 1920x1080 we suspect they are Blu-ray screen grabs but this is not confirmed! Also note the original file sizes are fairly low so they may not be the best representation of the final product.
