A 90 min Masterpiece-BBC production. A kind middle-aged woman goes missing on a moving train. A priveleged young woman tries in vain to convince others that the missing woman ever existed. This is something of a remake of the 1930's…

Despite a cast of somewhat seasoned actors in addition to a good plot,this version of a classic is "wooden"! I was expected to be on the edge of my seat (to a point),however,I found myself asking the question......"is this as good as it…

The plot is only vaguely reminiscent of Hitchcock's 1938 film, but there's no harm in that. This is over-the-top froth with a weak ending, but the visuals, period clothing and quick pace make it an acceptable entertainment. There's a…

"The Lady Vanishes" was very entertaining when Hitchcock filmed it in 1938. Then Cybil Shephard and Eliot Gould and Angela Lansbury redid it 1979 and it was mildly entertaining because of its' stars. But this 2013 version is tedious,…

I definitely recommend viewing the original before this newer adaptation!! Unfortunately, this one does not hold much of a candle to its predecessor due to, I think, the lack of consistency in the themes and over-dramatic performances.…

The girl in this one is cute, but none compare to that gorgeous creature named - Margaret Lockwood. 1938*

I haven't seen the original version of this movie, but I tend to like BBC and Masterpiece, so I gave it a shot. It was a tad flat and yet I watched the whole thing wanting to see how the story plays out in the end. It wasn't bad, but I'm…

Remakes of "classics" are seldom appreciated and most comparisons are done at the expense of the updated version, usually with justification. This version of "The Lady Vanishes" has different directoral tones reflecting an increased…

light hearted, a bit silly.

See the original which has a more complex plot and less self-centered Iris making waves on the train. Though both versions included the best quote. http://sccl.bibliocommons.com/item/show/1463543016_the_lady_vanishes

Interesting to see what they kept and left from the Hitchcock original.

Anyone who watched (and enjoyed) Hitchcock’s adaptation of Ethel Lina White’s book "The Wheel Spins" will not like this movie. While in this adaptation Tuppence Middleton plays a borderline hysterical Miss Carr, always snapping at…

Not quite the Hitchcock version in terms of how good it could be, but nonetheless, this more recent BBC adaptation of the story is very well done. The maddening mystery a young woman finds herself in aboard a train when a travelling…

This is a really great show. I don't know why it got lukewarm and bad reviews when it was on PBS, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. The main actress, Tuppence Middleton, is spectacular! You can really feel her frustration and anxiety. All of…
