The Lady Vanishes (Original photograph from the 1938 film)

N.p.: N.p., 1938. Vintage film still photograph from the 1938 film.

Based on the 1936 novel "The Wheel Spins" by Ethel Lina White.

One of Hitchcock's undisputed classics, a light thriller made (along with "Jamaica Inn" in 1939) at the end of his first British period.

Young Iris Henderson (Margaret Lockwood), heading home on a train after a vacation in the Balkans, befriends an old woman, Miss Froy (May Whitty) after Iris gets hit in the head with a flowerpot meant for Miss Froy. On the train, recovering from the blow, Iris falls asleep. When she awakens, Miss Froy has vanished, replaced by someone else in Miss Froy's (truncated) clothing. Iris talks to the other passengers, a bizarre collection of eccentrics who think Iris is crazy for insisting there ever was a Miss Froy. Finally, Iris finds a young musician, Gilbert (Michael Redgrave), who believes her and the two proceed to search the train for clues.

12 x 9.5 inches. Very Good, with pinholes and creasing to corners and small chip to right corner margin. (Inventory #: 148222)
