When the whole world doesn't believe you, will you still stick to yourself?

Figure 1: Miss Kelly who catches the train back to England to get married. Kelly and her two girlfriends were chatting and drinking in the hotel room. The best friend complained that she had lost her freedom when she got married so early. Kelly comforted herself that she had seen a lot. Even if she got married, she would never regret it, but there was still a trace of loneliness on her face.

Figure 2: Floyd, a home music teacher back to England, lives in an adjacent room with Kelly, because Gilbert upstairs and a few people can’t sleep because of a carnival;

This picture is a bit. . . Um......

Figures 3 and 4: Chadds and friends rush to the British kanban game. The two went to the restaurant to eat but were told that the station was out of food due to too many people trapped, and these were translated to them by the kind old lady Freud. The old lady gave them her cheese before she left.

Figure 5: Although Gilbert, who is like a playboy, is slick and unreliable, he does things organized and logically, and unknowingly captures the heart of the heroine Kelly.

Figures 7 and 8: The lover divorced her husband for the sake of the lawyer, but the lawyer has been delaying the divorce from his wife for the sake of his official career, which makes the lover very annoyed. The lover deliberately told Miss Kelly that she had met the old lady in order to make the lawyer’s private meeting of the lover public, but in the end, when the handsome ruffian brought someone to identify him, he was forced by the lawyer’s deterrence and interest considerations, so telling lies and identifying the person was Old lady Floyd.

Really good looking

An avalanche left these unrelated British people trapped in a humble hotel. The kind-hearted Miss Kelly was smashed for helping to return the glasses of Granny Floyd. Because of this, he was on the train. After Mrs. Roy was arrested, Miss Kelly desperately found and saved the old lady, and thus gained her true love.

Miss Kelly was taken to have coffee by Mrs. Floyd, and she wrote Floyd’s name on the glass. This is also why Miss Kelly saw the glass when she really suspected that she had a mental problem because of her head being smashed. Mark and recognize everything: I'm right (Kelly didn't know that the doctors, restaurant waiters, fake nuns, magicians, etc. were all bad guys).

The enthusiastic handsome guy Gilbert helped Miss Kelly find all kinds of clues all the way. When everyone, including those who call themselves doctors, said that Miss Kelly "has a brain problem", only Gilbert chose to believe her and help. She is doing what everyone sees as a "madman".

During this period, the train that several people took passively stopped at the border. The people in the car even started a fight with the people outside. In the end, it was the handsome ruffian Gilbert who drove the train to take everyone out of danger.

On the way to save people, Gilbert used his calm and quick thinking and ability to do things, humorous language and attitude, and meticulous care for Miss Kelly, finally attracting and chasing Kelly, who will become another's fiancée.

Let me ask: Who is not fascinated by a handsome guy who understands music, is humorous, meticulous, passionate and just, can fight, speaks dialects, and can drive trains!

The film also always reflects the British gentleman, arrogance, and selfish characteristics: Chadds and friends live in the maid’s room, the maid comes in to change clothes, the two gentlemen have to go out and wait for the maid to change clothes; in Miss Kelly When asking for help from all the witnesses in the restaurant, everyone was indifferent and selfish. Chadders and his friends said even if they met Mrs. Floyd, they denied it because they were afraid that the parking inspection would delay the time to watch the football game. , But after struggling to arrive in the UK, I still saw the news that the game was cancelled.

Although the film was shot in 1938, the plot and development of the film are by no means inferior to today, and it is very worth seeing.

    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

    Mr. Todhunter: My dear, you must think of it from my point of view. The law, like Caesar's wife, must be above all suspicion.

    'Mrs.' Todhunter: Even when the law spends six weeks with Caesar's wife?

  • Caldicott: People just don't vanish and so forth.
