It can be said that these films in the early stage of Yan Fat have a characteristic. The beginning is full of suspense, but it always ends unfinished, which makes people very disappointed after watching it. The same is true for this movie.

At the beginning, the various plot settings are very ingenious, the character characterization is also very good, the suspense is about to emerge, and everything looks so perfect, but after acting and bringing into the background of the world situation, the plot begins to be bloody, and the people watching are really It's embarrassing. It's like a young man who just graduated from the film school. This film can actually rank high in the history of smoke and fat movies. I don't understand why. This movie is worse than the ending of North by Northwest.

No disappointment. As one of my three favorite directors, I hope the follow-up movies will not let me down again, otherwise you will probably be excluded from the top three by me.

    Comedy is greater than suspense The first half hour of procrastination is more disgusting with the jumpy and sharply shifted narrative style of Fat Man.

    1. Hitchcock's penultimate British film before going to Hollywood, comedy, suspense, spy thriller and political allegory blend in perfect harmony. 2. The train space was used to the extreme, and it was repeatedly imitated by later generations (such as sirens covering words, car windows writing words, aisle walking and prying, turning windows to the next door, baggage carriages tangling, turning switches, etc.). 3. The awkward aesthetics of the comedy in the first paragraph, the film uses psychoanalysis (as in the name of Froy and the constant interpretation of everything into the heroine's brain-psychological problems in the name of science), and the final gun strategy is scribbled. 4. Most of the outsiders who lied just to protect themselves, the two men who only cared about cricket matches and poured out the coffee candy simulation commentary, and the idiots who had an affair and insisted on raising the white flag all satirized the British policy of appeasement. 5. The revolving door of the box and the trapdoor for escape + the rabbit onlookers in the top hat are entangled into a mummified "patient". 6. Pinching hands and melody as McGoffin's melody. 7. See also the motif of the innocent person involved in the conspiracy. 8. Cost-saving special effects shooting method: the distant view is a miniature model, and the scenery outside the window is a background projection. (8.3/10)

The Lady Vanishes quotes

  • Iris Henderson: I've no regrets. I've been everywhere and done everything. I've eaten caviar at Cannes, sausage rolls at the dogs. I've played baccarat at Biarritz and darts with the rural dean. What is there left for me but marriage?

  • Iris: Boris? Miss Henderson speaking. Look, someone upstairs is playing musical chairs with an elephant. Move one of them out, will you? I want to get some sleep.
