The Thirty Nine Steps (1978)

The Thirty Nine Steps is the 1978 adaptation of John Buchan's novel of the same name directed by Don Sharp starring Robert Powell, John Mills and David Warner. Most fans of the novel believe this film the most faithful of the four feature adaptations to the source material, but it still strays considerably. The film spawned a 1988 television spinoff, Hannay, with Robert Powell reprising his title role, which ran for two series.


The following weapons were used in the film The Thirty Nine Steps:


Handguns

Colt Model 1908

Scudder immediately notices something is amiss when he picks up his pistol. Unlike what some movies and TV shows would suggest, most people would notice if their pistols were empty.

Webley Bulldog

Marshall (Donald Pickering) carries a Webley Bulldog throughout the film. Inspector Lomas (Eric Porter) carries one at the end of the film.
