Series

On a train headed for England a group of travelers is delayed by an avalanche. Holed up in a hotel in a fictional European country, young Iris (Margaret Lockwood) befriends elderly Miss Froy (Dame May Whitty). When the train resumes, Iris suffers a bout of unconsciousness and wakes to find the old woman has disappeared. The other passengers ominously deny Miss Froy ever existed, so Iris begins to investigate with another traveler (Michael Redgrave) and, as the pair search for the missing passenger, romantic sparks fly.

Alfred Hitchcock’s The Lady Vanishes will be accompanied by a lecture from Dr. Sheril Antonio, Associate Arts Professor in the Department of Art and Public Policy and the Senior Associate Dean for Strategic Initiatives at New York University.

"As full of surprises, horrors, thrills, even humor, as the other Hitchcock productions."
John C. Mosher, The New Yorker
