Alfred Hitchcock directs Margaret Lockwood, Michael Redgrave and May Whitty in this classic British comedy thriller where a young traveller is convinced the kindly old lady who helped her onto the train has been kidnapped when everyone on board denies she even existed.

Brexit stopover. Potential threesomes just aren’t cricket. Noisy meet-cute. Rotten behaviour but I think they’ll warm to each other. Death by serenade. Flowerpot assassination attempt. Tea packet clue. Where did she go? Teaming up. Bandaged red herring. Murderous magic tricks. Fake nun. At least everyone isn’t a fascist?! Obligatory clinging to the outside of a moving train stunt. Shoot out under siege on the side line. “Pacifist, eh? Won’t work, old boy. Early Christians tried it and got thrown to the lions.” Race to the foreign office. Fun, fun, fun.
