"The Missing Lady", Reivew on The Lady Vanishes

One of the thriller spy and crime films that Hitchcock shot in the film, just as Hitchcock himself said, "The Missing Woman" is the pinnacle of his instinctive filming during the British period. The film is basically shot on a small 90-foot-long stage, and the rest is the background and miniatures. Compared with the film, Hollywood's work skills were quite satisfactory, but in the British film environment at that time, there were no small innovations in shooting techniques, editing, and unique observations of the world.

The wine glasses in the film, the names on the windows, etc. Hitchcock-style props; there is always a purposeful camera switch; coupled with the indispensable entertainment elements of romance, suspense, and humor, the film is very interesting.

This is the second time I have seen a film performance by Mike Redgrave, the great stage artist, who was previously the vivid liar in "Mr. Akatin".

In fact, many parts of the film are puzzling, such as asking an old woman to pass a piece of music, the doctor said a few words to the police on the platform of the train station, and letting the train cut off and leave the British territory...

But these are not important. After all, it was a work 70 years ago.
