And the picture takes the form
of the various places he is fleeing to,

:33:08

:33:15
ln Saboteur, there was
a very strong resemblance

:33:19
in its structure to
:33:21
The 39 Steps,
:33:23
with the handcuffs and, of course,
the perennial blonde,

:33:27
which became
a trademark of all his pictures.

:33:32
Now I feel better.
:33:33
Hitchcock believed the hero
should be dark.

:33:37
That is to say like Cary Grant
or Robert Donat

:33:40
or Jimmy Stewart.
:33:43
And the heroine should be blonde ...
:33:45
Grace Kelly, Madeleine Carroll.
:33:48
He believed that this is
the best way to tell stories.

:33:52
The Hero and heroine
had to look like that.

:33:55
He repeated
these things with variations

:34:00
all through ...
all through his work .

:34:04
That just goes to show what a blonde
can do to hold up national defence.
