Friday night movie: The Lady Vanishes (1938)

1 Comment

Here’s tonight’s movie:

IMDB mean rating: [8.0/10]

IMDB median rating: [8/10]

Description:

Travellers on a trans-European train are delayed for a night due to bad weather in a small fictional country called Mandrika. The passengers cram into the small village hotel where socialite Iris Henderson meets an old governess called Miss Froy. Shortly after the journey restarts, Miss Froy disappears.

This is by one of my favorite directors, Alfred Hitchock, who made many great patriotic movies.

Happy Friday!
