I had no idea Mr. Hannay had featured as a main character in more than one story myself. Robert Donat did a good job in the movie version I think. Of course the viewer is left wondering why the police couldn't catch him in one scene (he had a breathing problem and couldn't really run). He was supposed to play the title role in Captain Blood as well but due to how physical the role was (sword fights etc) he had to turn it down. So Errol Flynn got his big break.
