Alfred Hitchcock’s The 39 Steps
New York Times: "In London the award-winning theatrical comedy is billed as “John Buchan’s The 39 Steps.” But on Broadway, where the British import opened this month, it is called “Alfred Hitchcock’s The 39 Steps.” Is it possible that Buchan, who published his novel “The 39 Steps” in 1915, is better known in Britain than Hitchcock, the cinematic master of suspense who in 1935 made his film adaptation of that novel into one of the triumphs of his early London period?"

Its unfortunate that in its travel the author's name has become irrelevant. Sure Alfred Hitchcock may have had plenty to do with inspiration for the play, but he still didn't write it.
