Where'd she go?

Advantages: Classic, good cast, some suspense, some comedy.
Disadvantages: Old fashioned

The original Lady Vanishes was released in 1938 and directed by the late, great Alfred Hitchcock. The film is set in a fictional country just prior to the Second World War. This country has many similarities to Austria, Switzerland and Germany. The Lady Vanishes is one of those thrillers which has elements of comedy amongst the tension. We are introduced to the main characters, who are all travelling on a long train journey, as they are held up ...
...hotel we get to meet the main players. A young Michael Redgrave plays the male lead Gilbert, who is a somewhat eccentric English Gentleman.The female lead is taken by Margaret Lockwood, Iris, who I suppose is what would be termed a wild child these days. The train resumes it's journey the next day and we see more of the passengers. As well as Iris and Gilbert, these consist of:- A couple of frumpy guys who are 'typically British' and talk of nothing ...

Disadvantages: None!
