The Lady Vanishes
Had she vanished into thin air...Or was she never really there?
Directed by Anthony Page
Produced by Hammer Film Productions, The Rank Organisation
A witty, suspenseful train mystery that blends romantic comedy with espionage intrigue, anchored by a protagonist's growing paranoia and an unlikely partnership.
On the eve of World War II, zany heiress Amanda Kelly travels by train to Switzerland. While passing through Germany, she meets a sweet elderly lady, who suddenly vanishes. Distraught, she questions her fellow passengers who claim that the woman was never there. Unsure if it's all in her mind or if there's a more sinister plot afoot, Amanda teams up with photographer Robert Condon to discover the truth.
