    An Early Hitchcock Classic

    Forget all your preconceptions of the average 'Hitchcockian' thriller; 'The Lady Vanishes' is a murder mystery without the cynical private-eye or psychotic maniac. Instead we are treated to a film that's more 'British' than tea and cucumber sandwiches on the lawn of Buckingham Palace with the Queen!

    Miss Froy, a sweet middle-aged governess, suddenly disappears on board a moving train with only Iris Henderson, a new found travel companion, attesting to her very existence! Could it all just be an elaborate hallucination, or is it something far more sinister...?

    Both Margaret Lockwood and Michael Redgrave put in fantastic performances that, whilst slightly melodramatic by today's standards, fit right at home in this stately display. The film may not be as well renowned as Hitchcock's earlier piece, 'The 39 Steps', but it still retains his trademark camerawork and all the stylistic flourishes that audiences have come to know and love. 'The Lady Vanishes' is a true Sunday afternoon matinee for the whole family to enjoy, and certainly one of the most amusingly brilliant British movies from the 1930s.
