Alfred Hitchcock's superb version of Buchan's classic adventure story made at Lime Grove. Starring Robert Donat Madeleine Carroll
An innocent man accused of murder is pursued by both the police and an international spy ring. The beleaguered Richard Hannay eventually finds himself fleeing across the desolate Scottish moors - handcuffed to a beautiful but unpredictable blonde.
John Laurie, later known as Private Frazer in the comedy series Dad's Army, is a formidable crofter, and Peggy Ashcroft makes her mark on-screen as the timid wife who tries to help the fugitive escape.
