Bill T. @btreakle Feb 12 “The Lady Vanishes “ This movie takes place on a passenger train throughout most of the movie. And the premise of the story is there was a woman that is on the board the train And she has dinner with some other passengers. But then all of a sudden she’s not on the train anymore and that’s what this story is all about. However not everybody’s buying into the story of this young woman who befriends the lady that vanishes. Many people feel she’s just making it up. But I’ll let you decide as you watch this I think you will love the ending I’m not gonna spoil it. It ends in a not a typical Alfred Hitchcock way I will say that.

Hitchcock had an obsession with stories of ordinary people caught up in a larger-than-life conspiracy, such as "North by Northwest." You had to listen closely to the dialogue due to the heavy British accent in some scenes. Nonetheless, I found the plot very compelling, along with its sense of humor.

I guess in 1938 plot coherence and some form of realism were not that abundant. "Stylish" for stylish sake can lead you into bizarre places.The first half sets up as an intriguing mystery and then it all falls apart. The denouement of the reveal is ridiculous as are the heroics of ordinary people. It all becomes a strange jumble stumbling to the finsh. And if Lockwood is supposed to be single, she wears an engagement ring the entire film. Vastly over rated. See more John G Aug 1 I assume that most of these enthusiastic reviews are some combination of British/Hitchcock fans. If you're not British, the first 50 minutes are barely understandable prattle. My wife finished the movie, but was shaking her head by the finish. Fortunately, this was his last British film. Hollywood turned out much better for him - and us. See more Kim V Jun 27 Classic Hitchcock, this movie is a 'must see' for any Hitchcock fan or, anyone period. The humor, suspence and all out unsuspecting ignorance all combine to keep you on the edge of your seat and yelling at your TV. You'll want to watch it again and again. Lockwood, Redgrave and Dame May Whitty are of course, extraordinary. Charters and Caldicott, classic tongue in cheek characters. See more Read all reviews
