I'd call The Lady Vanishes lesser Hitchcock but it does hit on some of his more common tropes. We've a train, a Macgufffin and a case of mistaken (or missing) identity wrapped up in this story of Margaret Lockwood's character searching for a vanished without a trace woman on a train. The search itself is rather compelling as is the interplay between Lockwood and Michael Redgrave (who joins in th... read more

"The Lady Vanishes" is one of Alfred Hitchcock's early black and white films (1938) and the success of this film helped Hitchcock to be recognised in America as a talented director. He made just one more film in England after "The Lady Vanishes" then left for America where he became famous as a top director of suspense movies.

Description: On a train through Europe, Iris Henderson meets the kindly old woman Miss Froy, and they meet several other passengers over the course of their conversation. Iris later wakes up from a nap to discover that Miss Froy is nowhere to be found, and none of the people they met seem to have any recollection of her. A psychiatrist on the train suggests that Miss Froy never existed: Iris was bumped on the head before boarding, and the conversation may have only taken place in her head.

"9.4. 2024 "The Lady Vanishes" is set almost entirely in the train, and it includes wide selection of characters, who are all playing a small but somehow fascinating part in the story that doesn't have any dull moments. In the plot a young woman traveling on the train suddenly realizes after waking up that an older lady has mysteriously disappeared in the front of her eyes. Tolerance is not only an important but crucial virtue in the story, and when Hitchcock talks about virtues, he is never bor"
