@TheTimeProphet1 @d4doome Robert Donat was never in a Quatermass movie.

[Gary Olsen @filmlectures]

Named as one of the best 'school' genre movies, May 1939's "Goodbye Mr. Chips" offers Robert Donat's Oscar Best Actor performance. This was Greer Garson's film debut, earning her a Best Actress nomination for 25 min. screen time.

Robert Donat, left, in make-up, slates Sam Wood, who earned a Best Director nomination for 1939's "Goodbye, Mr. Chips." Donat said once he wore the bushy mustache, he felt the part of a Latin school teacher, but "I did look like a great airedale come out of a puddle."

Best Of British (127) The Magic Box (1951) Dreamer Robert Donat provides sympathetic anchor as William Friese-Green, motion picture pioneer, ruined by future ambition. With burnished visuals & formidable parade of British stars, a worthy document rather than embracing biography.

Not entirely sure when 3-car multiple units became acceptable rolling stock for fast trains from Edinburgh to Aberdeen, but here we are. Tweeting from the Forth Bridge and thinking of Robert Donat and Madeleine Carroll. Am I right sir?

@MDaviot @madeleyblue @howlsleafytea Indeed he could. And with that, his stammer came back.

[Jeff Hill @madeleyblue]

@howlsleafytea Passed Robert Donat's birth place a few weeks ago. As Dora Bryan said of him " he had such a lovely voice you'd never think he came from Manchester".

[Derek Winnert @DerekWinnert]

@tcm Alfred Hitchcock’s beguiling 1935 spy thriller film The 39 Steps rattles along in a luxury-class ride. Robert Donat is wonderfully suave and assured as Richard Hannay running for his life from a nest of spies and the law. https://t.co/ZJ2BAhkQUR

[All Robert Donat @AllRobertDonat]

@Crisopera1 @EPool3801 @ginadalfonzo Another reason for refusing the role. ‘I like my pickles mixed’, Donat said, not wanting endless swashbuckling roles. And he simply didn’t feel convincing as a swashbuckling hero. The right choice all round.

[All Robert Donat @AllRobertDonat]

@DavidLearner1 @marcustheslim Yes, that captures it well. We British do yearning for the past rather well, don’t we?

[All Robert Donat @AllRobertDonat]

#RobertDonat’s #Oscar-winning role.

[All Robert Donat @AllRobertDonat]

@DavidLearner1 @marcustheslim I’m welling up reading you saying it!

[Manu @manuthebest58]

Madeleine Carroll was handcuffed to Robert Donat by Hitchcock on the first morning of shooting and he left the pair in that predicament for the best part of a day to go about their business.

The 39 Steps (1935)

[Manu @manuthebest58]

Before filming the scene where Hannay (Robert Donat) and Pamela (Madeleine Carroll) run through the countryside, Alfred Hitchcock handcuffed them together and pretended for several hours to have lost the key in order to put them in the right frame of mind for such a situation.

@colinphoenix My mother was far from starstruck - she was a real socialist and despised the idea of Hollywood. Or so she said. But she carried a massive torch for Robert Donat all her life. Never missed a film of his on the telly..

@Anne69389012156 @El_gran_Azul What's up Doc? is really worth checking out! Lots of fun!! Yes, I was just going to say that about North by Northwest! It's pretty cool Hitchock filmed the story twice. The original 30s film with Robert Donat is a particular favourite of mine!😍😍
