Hitch is my all time fave director and i cant even calculate how many hours of my life i've spent absrobed in his films. i was about 18 when my Hitchcock obsession kicked off with my first ever viewing of Rear Window. after that i couldnt devour his work fast enough! Lady Vanishes is one of the best of his "Gaumont-British" body of work, perhaps matched only by The 39 Steps. btw Hitch LOVED trains and used them many many times thoughout his career (Shadow of a doubt, strangers on a train, north by northwest and more) a quick check on Edith head at IMDB and there's no credit for this film as well as no credit for any films i can see outside of the USA and Lady Vanishes was made in England.<br /> <br />i cant remember the actors names, but those two guys obsessed with cricket almost stole the film didnt they? they were so droll and hilarious! if i recall correctly they went on to appear in other films as those same 2 characters. nice post, glad you enjoyed that film :DArtman2112https://www.blogger.com/profile/03062864368596074661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2850055747571329079.post-71418399137874960542011-05-09T07:30:47.766-07:002011-05-09T07:30:47.766-07:00I'm thrilled when you put a spotlight on good ...I'm thrilled when you put a spotlight on good films from that past that are often overlooked. This is one of them.<br /><br />Hitchcock was, as you say, a very talented filmmaker which is an assessment that can be made separate from his public persona. I love many of his films, usually the lesser-known ones.<br /><br />Your blog does a public service!Shybikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15263331247319768989noreply@blogger.com
