Number 3 : not bad
16 March 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Richard Hannay finds himself caught up in a plot to derail Britain's naval plans in the First World War.

The third cinematic outing for John Buchan's suspense adventure, features Robert Powell as the beleagured Richard Hannay. It is as exciting and suspenseful as Hitchcock's version (and, I understand, closer to its source material), and nearly as colourful as the Kenneth More version, although with a significantly greater sense of genuine jeopardy than its immediate predecessor.

The climactic sequence on Big Ben is exciting, albeit not from the book.
