The Lady Vanishes

1938, 96 minutes

In this early rom/com thriller starring Margaret Lockwood and Michael Redgrave, an elderly English governess disappears on a train trip across a fascist country. The authorities insist there was no such woman on board, leaving it to the British passengers to sort out the mystery––encountering menace in every direction. Released during the Munich Crisis, The Lady Vanishes is one of Hitchcock’s pre-war allegories about a muddled Britain waking up to the growing threat coming out of Middle Europe.

Please Note--This film is RATED PG with smoking, drinking, foul play, Continental malfeasance, British stiff upper-lips, British adultery, and far too much fretting over cricket.
