Robert Donat and Madeleine Carroll in The 39 Steps (Alfred Hitchcock, 1935)

Cast: Robert Donat, Madeleine Carroll, Lucie Mannheim, Godfrey Tearle, Peggy Ashcroft, John Laurie, Helen Haye, Frank Cellier, Wylie Watson, Frederick Piper, Gus McNaughton, Jerry Verno. Screenplay: Charles Bennett, Ian Hay, based on a novel by John Buchan. Cinematography: Bernard Knowles. Art direction: Oscar Friedrich Werndorff, Albert Jullion. Film editing: Derek N. Twist. Music: Jack Beaver, Louis Levy.

The 39 Steps, Alfred Hitchcock's first great film, contains an object lesson in how to end a movie. Rather than tie everything up in a neat package Hitchcock simply ends after the confession and death of Mr. Memory (Wylie Watson) -- shot with beautiful irony against a background of high-kicking chorus girls -- in a closeup of Hannay (Robert Donat) and Pamela (Madeleine Carroll) holding hands, the handcuffs still dangling from Hannay's wrist. Nothing more needs to be said or shown, although a scene was apparently shot in which it's made more explicit that Hannay and Pamela are now a couple. Who needs it? The 39 Steps established Hitchcock as the master of the romantic thriller. There are those who regret that he never moved very far out of that genre, and who wish that he could have devoted himself to more highly serious material -- Dostoevsky, perhaps -- instead of popular authors like John Buchan, who wrote the novel on which the film is based. But that's the kind of aesthetic puritanism that leads directors astray into high-minded dullness. We should be grateful that Hitchcock never succumbed to it, and that he continued to devote himself to an almost unique economy of narrative and to developing his skill at creating ways to distract the viewer from noticing a story's holes. How, exactly, does Hannay get from the Forth Bridge to the Scottish Highlands? By the same sleight-of-hand that gets Roger Thornhill (Cary Grant) from New York to Chicago to Mount Rushmore in North by Northwest (1959), of course. And again, who cares? It's also the first of his films to rely on star power, the charisma and charm of the young Donat and the first of the director's "icy blonds," Carroll, who was never more appealing than in this film. At the same time, he also acknowledges the necessity of supporting players who can give the film texture and depth. I'm speaking here particularly of such narrative filigree as the crofter (John Laurie) and his wife (Peggy Ashcroft), the milkman (Frederick Piper) who lends Hannay his white coat and cap, the traveling salesmen (Gus McNaughton and Jerry Verno) on the train, and the professor's wife (Helen Haye) who is so unperturbed at seeing her husband (Godfrey Tearle) pointing a gun at Hannay. These are mostly the creations of Hitchcock and his screenwriter, Charles Bennett, and not John Buchan. Who reads Buchan anymore? Who doesn't want to watch Hitchcock's film again?

9.3 Never Alone by Helen Goldwyn

River believes Intertraxia is ahead of its time, but it’s already shipping innovations in entertainment and computing around the world.

9.4 Rivers of Light by Lisa McMullin

Special guest stars Tim Treloar as The Third Doctor and Jon Culshaw as Brigadier Alisdair Gordon Lethbridge Stewart.

“M’Naughton Visits Toronto War Plants,” Toronto Star. February 27, 1942. Page 3. ---- Civilian Scientists His Companions on Swift, Fact-Finding Tour ---- TRIP ALL BUSINESS ---- By GORDON SINCLAIR Looking slim, wiry, and in the pink of condition, the commander-in-chief of Canada’s armies at home and in the field, Lieut.-General Andrew McNaughton, reached Toronto today.

It was the first visit of the O.C. Canada since Toronto’s troops of the first division marched away to war in December, 1939.

Typical of this visit was the fact that the commander was accompanied by no military staff beyond his aide-de-camp, Lieut.-Col. N. E. Rodger. Instead, he was accompanied by two civilian-scientists, Dean C. Jack Mackenzie, acting president of the National Research Council, and J. V. Young, assistant master-general of ordnance. General McNaughton himself was peacetime president of the National Research Council and is still head of that organization on lease to the army.

The general and his compact party will inspect arms and military plants in the Toronto area today and Saturday.

Works Seven-day Week Working a seven-day week schedule, he will visit heavy arms plants in Hamilton, Sunday, Windsor Monday, and then got to the officers’ training camp at Brockville Tuesday.

The commander-in-chief reached Toronto in lonely silence. There were no delegations to meet him. On another track, while the general was eating a light breakfast, a Chinese party headed by Dr. T. V. Soong, arrived in the presence of a guard of honor headed by Major-General C. F. Constantine and Air Commodore Brooks. This party was driven away in a procession of cars decorated with the Union Jack and the red, white, and blue of republican China. General McNaughton, in a small khaki staff car...sporting the pennant of the commanding general of all forces...drove without escort to the Leaside plant of the Research Enterprises Ltd. This is the government-owned-and-operated factory building in which necessities of war and peace which were never before made in this dominion are produced.

The general who yesterday promoted Lieut.-Col. W. S. Rutherford, 34, to command of the Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry Highlanders...making him the youngest lieutenant-colonel in the Canadian army ... was met by Lieut.-Col. W. Eric Phillips who was one of the youngest Canadian lieutenant-colonels in the last war and who is a plant executive.

Examines New Plant The group toured the plant to examine the many optical units being designed and assembled there. These include prisms of various types for tanks and other armored vehicles, telescopes, range finders, binoculars and many magnifying units.

Typical of the way Canada’s industrial effort is going ahead is the fact that this combined laboratory, factory and foundry was neglected bushland when the general first went overseas to this war. Today it employs more than 2,000 skilled hands and is adding to this number weekly.

Murder Movie Makers: Directors Dissect Their Killer Flicks will be published on May 25 via McFarland & Company. The book is written by Matthew Edwards with a foreword by screenwriter Stephen Johnston (Ed Gein, Ted Bundy).

It collects interviews with 17 directors and writers who made movies based on real-life serial killers, including John McNaughton (Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer), Tom Hanson (The Zodiac Killer), David Wickes (Jack the Ripper), Chris Gerolmo (Citizen X), Chuck Parello (Ed Gein), David Jacobson (Dahmer), and Clive Saunders (Gacy).

Murder Movie Makers comes in at 216 pages. The paperback tome is available to pre-order for $39.95 on Amazon. 

Serial killers, mass murderers, spree killers, outlaws, and real-life homicidal maniacs have long held a grim fascination for both filmmakers and viewers. Since the 1970s, hundreds of films and television movies have been made covering killers from Charles Manson to Ted Bundy and the Zodiac Killer creating a uniquely morbid sub-genre within horror and thrillers.

This collection of interviews sheds light on 17 filmmakers and screenwriters who tackled this controversial subject while attempting to explore the warped world of infamous killers. The interviews include John McNaughton (Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer), Tom Hanson (The Zodiac Killer), David Wickes (Jack the Ripper), Chris Gerolmo (Citizen X), Chuck Parello (The Hillside Strangler), David Jacobson (Dahmer) and Clive Saunders on his ill-fated experience directing Gacy.

Offering candid insights into the creative process behind these movies, the interviews also show the pitfalls and moral controversy the filmmakers had to wrestle with to bring their visions to the screen.

RADIO GUIDE

March 5, 1938

Lucille Ball heard with Phil Baker on Sunday nights over the CBS Network

Radio Guide for the week ending March 5, 1938 (Volume 7, #20). Radio Guide published listings network radio programming schedules and programs with articles about the stars, stations and networks. 

Photographs by Gene Lester of Lucille Ball on “The Phil Baker Radio Show” during February 1938. Lucy worked with some wonderful comics and learned to rely on timing and tone of voice for comic effects. She had previously been featured on “The Wonder Show” hosted by Gale Gordon starring Jack Haley. 

Phil Baker (left) and British actor Harry McNaughton (right). 

Phil Baker (1896 – 1963) was an American comedian and emcee on radio. His solo act included him singing, playing the accordion, telling jokes and being heckled by a planted audience member called Jojo. With this act, Baker played the Palace Theatre in 1930 and 1931. Baker appeared with Carmen Miranda in the musical The Gang's All Here (1943). On radio, he starred in his own series The Armour Jester on NBC. In the 1940s he appeared on Duffy's Tavern on February 22, 1944, and was the host of the quiz show Take It or Leave It, which later changed its title to The $64 Question. Phil Baker appeared briefly on television but his show “Who’s Whose” was canceled after one episode. 

"'Radio Guide' began in Chicago and New York in November 1931, as a venture of Moe Annenberg, a former hood and strong-arm man for the Hearst newspaper distribution interests in Chicago (his duties usually involved blackjack-and-brass-knuckle confrontations with distributors of rival publications), who went legit in the twenties as publisher of the 'Daily Racing Form.' For about its first year it was presented in a tabloid newspaper format, with most of its editorial content coming from press releases - although New York Journal radio critic Mike Porter and music critic Carleton Smith were regular contributors from very early on." 

"Beginning in 1933, 'Radio Guide' began to feature two-color art covers and was presented in a saddle-stitched large-magazine format. There was also a new emphasis on original editorial content, and Chicago Herald-Examiner radio editor Evans Plummer became a regular contributor with his 'Plums and Prunes' column."

"Full color art covers were featured beginning in the spring of 1935, and continued until the magazine switched to black-and-white photo covers in early 1938. Many of these covers were elegant portraits of stars-of-the-moment painted by Charles Rubino, and these issues are perhaps the most collectible of the run. This period also marked the peak of Radio Guide's editorial quality - it published substantial criticism and serious journalism about radio, such as its 1935 expose revealing that elements of 'Major Bowes Original Amateur Hour' were rigged.

"'Radio Guide' changed both its title and focus in 1940, as a direct result of Moe Annenberg being sent to prison for tax evasion - the magazine was taken over by his son Walter (later publisher of 'TV Guide') and the change to a combination radio-movie format was an attempt to pump up the cash flow by merging 'Radio Guide' with 'Screen Guide,' another troubled Annenberg publication of the era. The transition to 'Movie Radio Guide' was unfortunately accompanied by a sharp drop in editorial quality - the publication became much more of a shallow celebrity-oriented fan rag." ~ Elizabeth McLeod, Radio Historian
