The shocking thing about this movie is even though it was done in 1938, the style, technique, can be seen in virtually every action or thriller you see today. Hitch also does a great job with playing with stereotypical conventions of males and females, aggressions as far as not utilizing the typical things women can do or say within a movie. He also had a faint comedic element which made the suspense portions all the more intense. His camera technique regarding his shots was very claustrophobic which led you as a viewer to wonder was there even a lady present? this choice of shooting this way also allows us as viewers to question why this lady hasn't been found since the space appears to be so confined. This was an absolutely wonderful edge of your seat picture with an ending where mostly all of the loose end are tied tight!

A cracking plot, sparkling dialogue, great characters and sublime direction make The Lady Vanishes an all-time must see.
Marking the peak of Hitchcock's British period, it is an exquisitely crafted, finely wrought, cinematic treasure, boasting a cast which reads like a veritable Who's who of British acting talent from the Golden Age of British Cinema.
While the director, writers and supporting cast all deserve credit, the film very much belongs to its leading lady, the lovely Margaret Lockwood, who, as feisty heroine Iris Henderson, somehow manages to be heart-stopping beautiful, supremely sexy, spirited, cute and adorably vulnerable all at the same time! Now where can I meet a girl like that?
The Lady Vanishes is, for every reason, but especially because of Miss Lockwood, the very best of the very best; a landmark movie which you truly cannot miss!
