A tour on interesting DVD releases : The Thirty Nine Steps

Another interesting DVD release concerns The Thirty Nince Steps, extremely enjoyable film. I found this edition though I ignore the release date as I haven't found it on Amazon nor other site. I found it on Ebay, and as it was mentioned the "On location with Robert Powell" I felt obliged to buy it. (In addition, Robert's picture on the cover is just adoooorable)
So this DVD contains a featurette “On location with Robert Powell” in which Robert presents some of the filming locations of all the 3 versions of the film. I don’t know when was this made, presumably it was around 1998-2001 as Robert wears a beard and I’ve seen that beard in pictures from that period, specially at the times of the BT Challenge (another subject for a future post). The featurette doesn’t give any interesting information, but Robert looks great and it’s lovely to see him call Hitchcock only “Hitch”.

I leave you with some pics taken from the video :
Robert in the Royal Albert Hall


I loved his face in this one!

At the Palladium Theatre (used in the Hitchock version)


Mhh, and this location was used in which version??? Just kidding

Thanks for reading!

Another cool post!
Hope the featurette will appear on youtube someday. ;-)
Robert looks just like in another "On location" thing he did - about A Fish Called Wanda (except he wore glasses in that one).

Yes, there was a DVD release of Fish Called Wanda with lots of bonus material, including On location with [not very much of!] Robert.
