The Lady Vanishes

THE LADY VANISHES (1938) - June 17, 2004
An excellent early film by Hitchcock. About an old lady who goes missing on a train. When the woman she was with tries to figure out what has happened to her, everyone denies that she was ever even there, Breakdown-style. Like Hitchcock's other British films, it contains many comedic elements. It was very entertaining throughout, and the mystery of the missing woman was quite compelling. Hitchcock is definitely one of my favourite directors. ***1/2
