"The Lady Vanishes"

"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 befriends elderly Miss Froy. 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 and, as the pair sleuth, romantic sparks fly."  All these renditions of the story are mediocre at best but if you are into old style suspense flicks then give it a go.  Watch the trailer below and see what you think.

All worth a once over but easily forgotten,
Brian & Mel
