Watched two Hitchcock films today
The 39 Steps and Secret Agent. The first was decent, had an interesting story, lead actor, all that jazz but the second was pretty bland, honestly. Was excited to see Peter Lorre was in it but his character was unbelievably unlikable.
I'd give 3.0 to the first and 2.0 to the second. I can't help but dock them for having incredibly shitty audio and video quality (I watched it on DVD) apparently caused by the fact that it wasn't released on VHS or some shit and fell into the public domain, so the copies that survive are 2nd-3rd hand.
I recommend the first but not the second.
