The Lady Vanishes

Alfred Hitchcock's The Lady Vanishes. The best of early Hitchcock, starring Margaret Lockwood and Michael Redgrave
The film was named "Best Picture of 1938" by the New York Times,^[5] and Alfred Hitchcock received the 1939 New York Film Critics Circle Award for "Best Director".

Camp, precious, winning and absurd. 

The Lady Vanishes was one of Hitchcock's last films to be made in the U.K. – only 1939's Jamaica Inn came before he moved to Hollywood and began making films there for David O. Selznick, starting with Rebecca, released in 1940.^[2][3] It was the great success of The Lady Vanishes, after a slump of three films that were not hits,^[4] that made it possible for Hitchcock to negotiate a very good deal to work in the States

In Bandrika, a fictional country in an "uncivilised" region of immediately pre-World War II Central Europe,^[6] a motley group of travellers eager to return to England is delayed by an avalanche that has blocked the railway tracks. Among the train's passengers are Gilbert (Michael Redgrave), a young musicologist who has been studying the folk songs of the region, Iris (Margaret Lockwood),
a young woman of independent means who has spent a holiday with some
friends, but is now returning home to get married, and Miss Froy (May Whitty), an elderly lady who has worked some years abroad as a governess.

When the train
resumes its journey, Iris and Miss Froy become acquainted, while the
remaining passengers in the compartment appear not to understand a word
of English. Iris lapses into unconsciousness, the result of an earlier
encounter with a falling flowerpot
meant for Miss Froy. When Iris reawakens, the governess has vanished,
and she is shocked to learn that the other passengers claim Miss Froy
never existed. The other English travelers deny ever seeing her, for
their own reasons.
