Abstract

ALFRED HITCHCOCK'S LADY VANISHES (1938) traces the adventures of cross-European train travelers who variously befriend, lose, imprison, conceal, seek, ignore, rescue, and chase a little-oldlady English governess who is also His Majesty's spy. A comedy-romancethriller, it stands alongside The 39 Steps (1935) as the high watermark of Hitchcock's postsilent cinema English filmmaking and displays his quaint mix of affection and contempt for imperial hypocrisy and insouciance.
