- Lady Vanishes (1938) - Margaret Lockwood (as Iris), Michael Redgrave (as Gilbert), Paul Lukas (as Dr. Hartz), Dame May Whitty (as Miss Froy). Having seen the recent PBS Masterpiece adaptation, I was curious about what I think is the first adaptation of the title. An added bonus was the fabulous Dame May Whitty, whom is fabulous in every film I've seen her in. The plot is basically this: Iris meets Miss Foy, a governess going back to England, on a train. She disappears, and Iris is determined to find her but no one on the train has seen her. Soon, it seems to Iris that everyone thinks she is crazy. Luckily, things work out in the end. Directed by Alfred Hitchcock, I wouldn't necessarily consider this in his style or the style he developed but it definitely is an enjoyable film.
