An avid reader that he was, Hitchcock drew his inspiration from authors such as Oscar Wilde, Charles Dickens, Gilberth Keith Chesterton and John Bucchan. When Hitchcock stumbled upon John Bucchan's The 39 Steps, he was inspired by the plot and turned it into a classic that we all cherish even to this date.
