On a train going across Europe just before the start of World War II, a nice old lady disappears. Or does she? Because on closer investigation, it seems that only one passenger is convinced that she was even on the train to start with. Director Alfred Hitchcock’s last British film before he left for Hollywood effortlessly balances comedy and thrills as some of the passengers turn out to be more sinister than they seemed - and others take a long time to be dragged out of their complacency.

Fascinating facts
Two minor characters in The Lady Vanishes – the cricket-obsessed pair Charters and Caldicott – proved so popular with audiences that they later turned up in three other films, two radio series and (played by different actors) a 1980s TV series.
