"Very good mystery movie, just felt a little slow as times. It shows Hitchcock's early genius though."

A Century of Good Films (85 movies items)

" Directed by: Alfred Hitchcock Plot: While traveling in continental Europe, a rich young playgirl realizes that an elderly lady seems to have disappeared from the train. Why? A very Hitchock'ian movie, the master of suspence. A bit of a bad ending, but almost all of Hitchcock's films are."

As only Hitchcock could make them, The Lady Vanishes is an impossibly entertaining and well-made suspenseful black comedy.

The plot concerns itself with one of Hitchcock’s favorite obsessions: the story of an innocent being descended into a nightmarish underworld of corruption and cover-ups. Iris is a bea” read more
