Part of the Maine Film Center’s FULL SPEED AHEAD Maine Train Film Fest
Introduction by Alicia Malone, TCM host and author (Girls on Film: Lessons from a Life of Watching Women in Movies)
A young woman (Margaret Lockwood) traveling by train through Europe becomes increasingly alarmed when an elderly governess (Dame May Whitty) mysteriously disappears – all other passengers denying ever having seen her. Teaming up with a charming but cynical musicologist (Michael Redgrave), she uncovers an elaborate espionage plot that leads to a tense and dangerous resolution. A masterful blend of humor, romance, and suspense, the film is a brilliant display of Hitchcock’s emerging talent for crafting intricate, witty, knife-edge thrillers.
