Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Lady Vanishes is a 1938 mystery/thriller film starring Margaret Lockwood and Michael Redgrave, and one of the last films Alfred Hitchcock directed before he left his native Britain and went off to Hollywood.After receiving a nasty bump on the head, Iris Henderson (Lockwood), a young English socialite who's on her way back home from a vacation tour, meets Miss Froy (May Whitty), a nice middle-aged lady, on board a train travelling through Bandrika, a fictional country somewhere in central Europe. They get on nicely for a while, when suddenly... the lady vanishes (what a twist). Iris and the caddish-yet-loveable Gilbert (Redgrave) promptly try to locate her - but nobody seems to remember seeing Miss Froy. Did Iris just hallucinate her? Or is there foul play at work?All right, there is foul play. But there's also a Screwball Comedy relationship between Iris and Gilbert. And two hilariously over-the-top Englishmen obsessed with Cricket. This is consequently one of Hitchcock's more lighthearted films — think The 39 Steps.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The film, which is based on the 1936 novel The Wheel Spins by Ethel Lina White, was remade in 1979, with Angela Lansbury in the title role, and a TV movie version aired on The BBC in 2013. Unofficially, the 1976 Hitchcock homage Silver Streak and the 2005 Jodie Foster film Flightplan have quite a few similarities to it. | |

Affably Evil: Dr. Hartz seems like he's genuinely a nice guy, despite being in on the conspiracy. He even gleefully wishes the heroes good luck at the end after they escape him. | |

Agent Scully: Dr. Hartz insists that Miss Froy was not on the train and that there are scientific explanations, such as Iris subconsciously remembering a fictional character or meeting Miss Froy at the inn, parting ways, and then mistaking Madame Kummer for Froy. | |
