It is the handwriting of the master
The Missing Lady
Rating: 8.0
Hitchcock is one of the best films made in the UK, earning high marks both commercially and professionally.
Although Xi Pang doesn't have much opinion on the structure of this story, he is indeed very skilled in terms of dialogue and character profiles. Two old fans who love to watch cricket matches try their best to find out the result of an important match; there is also a fake couple whose relationship is not simple through a few...

What's new: Long foreshadowing and character explanations for later rationalization. This kind of opening group x seems to be the source of the Japanese hotel comedy. Hitchcock's last film in the United Kingdom, and then Hollywood things began to appear, but more of a surprise for British films. Fast-moving train tracks, later the same shot in Europa Train. The front and back are not the same story at all, and the two atmospheres do not maintain each other. Perhaps only Hitchcock can do...

Why is it so much trouble to get an old lady? You can buy these people on the train in a short time, you can order the railway staff to split the car, and you can transfer 2 trains of armed men. You can't deal with the old lady in the hotel? How many nonsense and redundant shots are in this film before and after? Damn, what I watched in the first half was to press fire. . Such a foolish piece of nonsense, nonsense and logical nonsense, you play the masses as monkeys? I've watched 15 of...

Don't take illusions to fool people, I almost believed the fooling
A suspense film is like a mind game with the audience, in which Hitchcock's master status is beyond doubt.
The opening chapter looks a bit chaotic at first glance, and the miscellaneous language and farce actually subtly pave the way for the characters of each character.
There is some splendor in the chaos, the comedy caused by the cook's language barrier, the ironic call to ask a stranger for a cricket game, and the little fight between the noise-making rascal Kant and Kelly....

A political fable about World War II Britain with a perfect fusion of various genres
The Missing Lady is Hitchcock's early work, it is first and foremost a romantic comedy, which is characteristic of Hitchcock's early works, such as his other masterpiece "The Thirty-nine Steps", with The British style is a little ironic, witty, lighthearted and humorous. The two scenes that can highlight this feature are the portrayal of the characters in the hotel at the beginning, especially the portrayal of two typical British characters, followed by the male and female protagonists in...

NO.20 Fatty Xi's is a great model. There is a sense of joy in the first part of the foreshadowing, and there are many puzzles after getting on the train. May be affected by the current situation, the murder and political conspiracy are combined. The comedy and thriller of the whole film are just right, and the heroine finally found the marriage she wanted. PS: Fatty Xi's huge body is very...

Filmed before World War II (European battlefield) broke out, its predictability was...

His British period works are brilliant and more intriguing than some later American works. The opening is long but ironic, and the characters are ready to come out. The plot design and mirror use of the heroine losing consciousness in the car after being smashed, and the scene of the luggage truck fight are all very classic. As usual, it is the perfect ending after the thrill of handsome men and beautiful...

This seems to be one of the less detail-oriented parts of Xifa's films. The setting of the story is very similar to Agatha's novel, and the sentient beings on the train are often full of appearances. Happy friends are also happy to see. The ending is full of British...

The super annoying suspense romantic comedy film actually has elements of espionage warfare. It can be said that the genre is very diverse, and it should have sold well back then. The slightly cumbersome hotel scene explains the identities and relationships of the main characters. Although the plot is long-winded (maybe because of old-fashioned), the rhythm is pleasing to the eye. The shooting on the train is very dexterous, and the panoramic shots that are good at interspersing outside the car...
Gilbert Redman: Naughty. Naughty. You know, that's a very large nose for a very small pair of spectacles!
Gilbert Redman: You carry on keeping fit. Touch your toes. Stand on your head. Do anything! Only, whatever you do, don't fall asleep.
Gilbert Redman: [spanks Iris' behind] Come on kid, you're not drugged. I'll explain later.
