I just saw The 39 Steps for the first time this evening. Would you recommend Buchan's book? Or any other films featuring Robert Donat? He's reminding me of Ronald Colman at certain angles, which is entirely down to you, as the only Colman film I've seen thus far is Champagne for Caesar.
Ahh, delightful! (Also hi and happy new year, friend!)
Would I recommend Buchan's book? To you, yes; it is a fun romp. It is also full of ideas about Englishness™ and Modern Technology™ and Simple But Wholesome Scottish Peasants™. Also gender. So as an artifact of its time and fun espionage caper, absolutely yes.
2. Would I recommend other films featuring Robert Donat? yes
The Ghost Goes West (1935). Is this film good? Probably not!! Did I love it when I was a small child? Absolutely yes. A ghost who lives in his ancestral Scottish castle (tm) travels with it when it is bought by an American millionaire. Hijinks ensue.
Goodbye, Mr. Chips (1939). Is this film extremely sentimental? yes. Do I cry every time? Also yes. The book is my favorite, but I also love this adaptation. And Greer Garson, who is also in it.
Knight Without Armour (1937). Is this film good? Eh, possibly not. Is it dated? Extremely. Does it feature Robert Donat and Marlene Dietrich in a fraught situational romance? YES. Look, my sexuality is basically people with repressed feelings and good cheekbones, for which I blame 1930s films and novels.
...also I love knowing this about your Ronald Colman exposure via this blog, and am practically vibrating with zeal about recommending other Ronald Colman movies in addition to the delightful Champagne for Caesar, but that would be a digression.
P.S. I would also recommend the 2008 miniseries with Rupert Penry-Jones and Lydia Leonard, speaking of my thing for people with repressed feelings and good cheekbones.

hey i saw some of your posts in the rogue male tag and wanted to ask if you could recommend some similar books?
Hello! Well, I'm not sure what you think of as similar, because of the particular layered ways in which the prose and plot of Rogue Male work, but here goes with a range.
The Prisoner of Zenda, Anthony Hope: adventurous Englishman goes to East Central Europe, gets involved in politics when he arguably shouldn't, remains committed to his sense of what his personal honor requires even when this raises the likelihood of his ending up extremely dead.
The End of the Affair, Graham Greene: extremely repressed Englishman writes with a mixture of defiance and self-loathing about the most passionate events and relationships of his life.
Watership Down, Richard Adams: life and philosophy -- and intermittent existential crises -- underground. Also much reflection on Englishness, of landscape and otherwise.
The 39 Steps, John Buchan: in which the international desire to keep a fragile peace and the desire of an individual Englishman to follow up Suspicious Dealings are at odds.
Kim, Rudyard Kipling: the original Great Game. Biracial orphan traverses subcontinent, contemplates multiple ways of knowing, seeks liberation from categories created by empires while deciding what his duty to the land of his birth is (I love this book.)
A God in Every Stone, Kamila Shamsie: An Englishwoman and an Armenian archaeologist and a Punjabi soldier traverse multiple continents, and most of all the Indian subcontinent, in an age of seismic change (I love this book too.)
The English Patient, Michael Ondaatje: featuring 'the English patient' as the most unreliable narrator of his own feelings, on the cusp of -- and, later, in the midst of -- a world war that threatens to shatter both present alliances and research into a deep past. (We die containing a richness of lovers and tribes, tastes we have swallowed, bodies we have plunged into and swum up as if rivers of wisdom...)
Silverlight, John Le Carré: I could just recommend his entire oeuvre, but instead I'm going with his last novel, an unusually slim one that, like Rogue Male, contains a very gradual reveal of an emotionally tangled and politically complex history.
