I was still praising the killing method of "The White House by the Sea" that I was watching before. The killing method was relatively novel and unique. I watched this one right away and found that Hitchcock had a better exploration as early as 1938. (Being able to watch two suspense films with the same crime technique is a rare coincidence. Besides, the former is still an unpopular one.) Having said that, the story happened again on a train. Hitchcock loved trains. Or that this type of story, whether it is a movie or a book, always has a common train scene, why? Probably because of the characteristics of the train, it has a large number of passengers (can be hidden, available, available for witness), has a time limit, is a narrow and long space that is closed and constantly flowing (playing a murder here always requires more sophisticated criminal techniques ) But on the whole, the characteristics of this "The Missing Lady" are not distinctive. I found out that it was a spy story in the middle, and my interest became lower, and the later shootout was even more sloppy. After reading it, I think it would be more interesting to simply change it and change the ending to be good people doing bad things (the spy who helped is actually the unjust party)?

An unsolved crime movie on the train also reminds me of "Murder on the Orient Express". In short, an old movie with such a fast pace that can only figure out the case on the train can be fascinating.

Miss Froy: I never think you should judge any country by its politics. After all, we English are quite honest by nature, aren't we?
