Alfred Hitchcock Week - The Lady Vanishes
It’s Alfred Hitchcock Week here at iMovieCinema - seven films in seven days. We’re kicking off the week with a 1938 film, The Lady Vanishes.
The movie begins in the fictional European country “Bandrika,” where an avalanche has blocked the railroad tracks, and stalled the plans of a collection of travelers who are on their way to England. The travelers include a wealthy young woman, Iris (portrayed by Margaret Lockwood); an elderly woman, Miss Froy (Dame May Whitty); and a musicologist/folkorist, Gilbert (Michael Redgrave). When the train journey resumes, Iris notices that Miss Froy is missing. Iris and Gilbert proceed to investigate Miss Froy’s disappearance.
Other cast members include Paul Lukas, Cecil Parker, Linden Travers, Naunton Wayne, Basil Radford, Mary Clare, Philip Leaver, Catherine Lacey, and Googie Withers.
