The Lady Vanishes (1938)

£0.00


Country: GB
Technical: bw 97m
Director: Alfred Hitchcock
Cast: Michael Redgrave, Margaret Lockwood, Dame May Whitty, Paul Lukas

Synopsis:

Various travellers on their way back to England on a delayed train from an East European country have their journey disrupted by a young woman who claims her elderly companion has been abducted.

Review:

Archetypal travel thriller with an assortment of colourful characters. It also boasts a number of Hitchcockian moments - the difficulty of disabling the Italian conjuror, the liberal use of subjective shots, the model shots! - which go further to make up its charm. But it is Redgrave's flighty performance that guarantees the youthful swagger of the project to this day.
