This was one of the last British films Hitchcock made before coming to the U.S. and it's a really solid movie.
It's about a English tourist named Iris Henderson (played by Margaret Lockwood) travelling by train in Europe. She meets a kind elderly woman on the train and they talk, they have tea, then Iris takes a short nap. When she wakes up it seems that the woman has disappeared from the train, and all of the other passengers deny having ever seen the elderly lady.
Very determined, and with the help of a musician (played by Michael Redgrave) the search is on for clues that may lead to the missing woman.
It's a really well put together movie, very entertaining with likable characters. However, if you're a big fan of mysteries and are looking for something to really challenge you, this won't give you much more than an episode of 'Scooby-Doo'.
Still, despite being a little predictable, there is a lot to like about this movie. I definitely recommend it.
I give this one a 4.5 out of 5
