Great Britain

The star-studded comedy thriller that took the world by storm. The subtlety with which the humour of Miss Froy's preposterous disappearance (played by the splendid Dame May Whitty) gradually gives way to desperation and danger as the train carries the cast through Eastern Europe makes The Lady Vanishes a true Hitchcock masterpiece. Interestingly, it was Hitchcock's last but one film in England for 10 years. Selznick invited him to Hollywood whilst The Lady Vanishes was in the making.
