Starring: Margaret Lockwood, Michael Redgrave, Paul Lukas, May Whitty
Director: Alfred Hitchcock
This is one of Hitchcock's finest British films, a classic mystery that manages to combine humor with a genuine sense of menace -- not to mention the kinds of characters that everyone dreams of meeting on a Central European train journey.
As fresh and witty as ever.
[R]epresents Hitchcock's work at its most charming.... [T]he suspense is tonic rather than truly frightening, and almost comically glamorous.
Hitchcock's second-to-last British movie before decamping to LA is a fun romp celebrating the stiff-upper-lippedness of our great nation.

Hitchock combines thrills and fun in this wonderful offbeat spy yarn. A winner.

While Hitchcock went on to make even better films, this one sets a standard of pure entertainment that has only occasionally been matched in succeeding decades.
Accept no substitutes for this blissful original.

Classy, intriguing and highly entertaining.

The formula of an innocent thrust into a nightmare would fascinate Hitch for decades to come, but here he packs the tale with strong characters and important details.
Hitchcock at his freshest and lightest.
This is vintage Hitchcock, with the pacing and superb editing that marked not only his 30s style but eventually every film that had any aspirations whatever to achieving suspense and rhythm.
Naturally, nobody builds suspense like ‘The Master’, but the appealing team of Lockwood and Redgrave receves sterling back-up from twinkly Dame May and Cecil Parker as the spineless adulterer.

Just in under the wire to challenge for a place on the year's best ten is The Lady Vanishes, latest of the melodramatic classics made by England's greatest director, Alfred Hitchcock.
Underrated early Hitch with a killer finale.
Very much of its time (in a good way), and very enjoyable.
