Chabrol finance the film with money from his wife’s inheritance and shot it in the village where he was born (Sardent).

It was released in the US in January 1959.
The 39 Steps opened in London, England on 6 June 1935 (it would be released in the US at the end of July).
Based on John Buchan's 1915 novel, Charles Bennett (working closely with Alfred Hitchcock) made significant changes for the film version (including changing the meaning of the title), and the film is considered to be the first to contain signature Hitchockian elements (an innocent man wrongly suspected, the MacGuffin, a blend of humor and suspense, the "icy blonde", and the use of familiar places for the action).
The 39 Steps was a commercial and critical success when it was released, and its reputation remains - it has been ranked as one of Hitchcock's best films, one of the best book-to-film adaptations, and one the best British films of all time.
The Arctic Monkeys 4th studio album was released on 6 June 2011.
The album was a critical and commercial success, becoming their 4th consecutive #1 in the UK, and peaking at #14 in the US.
Belle & Sebastian’s 4th studio album was released on 6 June 2000.
It was their best-selling album in the UK to date (peaking at #10) and their first album to chart in the US (peaking at #80).
The cover image was of twin sisters Gyða and Kristín Anna Valtýsdóttir from the Icelandic group múm. They are holding paperbacks that have titles of 2 of the songs on the album, which had fans looking for the non-existent books (they were created solely for the album).

Siouxsie and the Banshees‘s 4th studio album was released on 6 June 1981.
Noted for John McGeoch’s guitar playing, Juju was a critical and commercial success, peaking at #7 in the UK. The band had still not found an audience in the US.
The Psychedelic Furs’ 2nd album was released on 6 June 1981.
Talk Talk Talk did not sell as well in the UK as their debut, but found a wider audience in the US, where it peaked at #89.
While containing the same songs, they were re-ordered on the US release.
The Cars self-titled debut album was released on 6 June 1978.
The first single, “Just What I Needed,” had been released the week before (peaking at #27), and the album peaked at #18 in the US and remained on the charts for 139 weeks (it was the 4th best-selling album of 1979).
Drummer David Robinson designed an album cover – for $80, he recalled. “I remember the price exactly. It was completely finished and everything, but it was a little more bizarre than the cover that they had in mind, so they changed some of it because of copyright problems and put it in as the inner sleeve.“
The band hated the cover, especially the band photo on the back. Robinson would take design control on subsequent releases.
Elton John’s debut album was released in the UK on 6 June 1969 (it would not be released in the US until 1975).
Produced by Steve Brown, drummer Nigel Olsson appears on the record (and would appear occasionally on John’s albums before officially joining the group in 1972). Drummer Roger Pope and guitarist Caleb Quaye were also in the studio (Quaye had been playing with John since 1965 and would continue an on and off association with the band for 10 years).
While the album failed to find an audience, the song “Skyline Pigeon” received radio airplay and would remain part of John’s live set for years. Elton John re-recorded the song in 1972 and included it as the B-side to “Daniel.” John also played the song at the funeral of Ryan White in 1990.
The debut album by Moby Grape was released on 6 June 1967.
Recorded in less than 6 weeks and for $11,000, the album peaked at #24 in the US. Columbia records also chose to release 5 singles on the same day as the album, which in total included 10 of the 13 songs from the album. Only 2 singles (”Omaha" and “Hey Grandma”) charted.
The original cover (photographed Jim Marshall) was recalled due to drummer Don Stevenson’s extended middle finger. Columbia had also decided to obscure the American flag in the background by making it all red. In re-issued versions, Stevenson’s finger was airbrushed out and the flag was blackened.

The River in Reverse was released on 6 June 2006.
Elvis Costello had recorded with Allen Toussaint as early as the 1980s (Toussaint produced Costello's cover of Yoko Ono's "Walking on Thin Ice" in 1984 and played piano on "Deep Dark Truthful Mirror" from 1989's Spike), and after performing together at a number of benefit concerts for the victims of 2005's Hurricane Katrina, Costello approached Toussaint about recording an album together.
The River in Reverse received critical praise and was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album.
Camera Obscura's 3rd studio album was released on 6 June 2006.
Let's Get Out of This Country was recorded in Sweden and produced by Jari Haapalainen (guitarist for the Bear Quartet) and marked a transition for the band from a primarily acoustic sound to more "electric," as well as incorporating country and Motown influences.
The album appeared on a number of year-end "best of" lists (#2 by PopMatters) and Pitchfork listed it as one of the "top 200 albums of the 2000s."
Belle and Sebastian's debut album was released on 6 June 1996, with only 1,000 copies (it was re-released in 1999).
Stuart Murdoch and bassist Stuart David met in 1994 through Glasgow's program to help unemployed musicians (funded by Stow College) and in 1996 enlisted guitarist Stevie Jackson, drummer Richard Colburn, keyboardist Chris Geddes, and cellist Isobel Campbell. All of the musicians had not played together until they entered the studio to record the album, which they did in 3 days.
Tigermilk was released to positive reviews, and the original release of 1,000 copies sold out quickly, and after the 1999 re-release it has sold more than 125,000 copies.

Levi Stubbs (born Levi Stubbles, 6 June 1936 – 17 October 2008)
The Harder They Come was released in Jamaica on 5 June 1972.
Loosely based on the life of the 1940s criminal Ivanhoe Martin, Perry Henzell (who also directed) and Trevor Rhone updated the story to the 1970s and cast Jimmy Cliff (whose only acting experience was in school plays), who wrote the title song and 2 others for the soundtrack.
The film was a huge hit in Jamaica, but failed to find an audience when Roger Corman released it in the US in Feb. 1973. It wasn’t until a year later - due to midnight showings - that the film began to attract viewers.
The film is cited as introducing reggae “to the world,” and the soundtrack peaked at #140 on the US Billboard chart.
