Quick Hit

A disappearing act on rails that never stops getting sharper.

Full Take

The Lady Vanishes is one of the purest Hitchcock pleasures: funny, tense, elegant, and constantly in motion. The train setting turns social comedy into a pressure chamber, and the movie keeps tightening the screws without losing its wink. A near-perfect balancing act.

I honestly think this is elite. It might not be perfect, but it does so many things right that it doesn’t matter.
