""The Lady Vanishes" (also known, strangely, by the title "Alarm on the Express") is Alfred Hitchcock's last film in his British period, who eventually began directing films in Hollywood. It is a basic, straightforward yet very effective thriller, somewhat similar to Agatha Christie novels like "Murder on the Orient Express", but with a plot about a disappearance that takes a much more interesting turn (we won't spoil it for you). If you enjoy mystery stories or want to know classic Hitchcock, this is a great starting point."
