Directed by: Alfred Hitchcock
Staring: Margaret Lockwood, Michael Redgrave, Paul Lukas, May Whitty and Cecil Parker
An all-time classic film directed in 1938 by Alfred Hitchcock. Set and made as the Second World War was approaching it stars Margaret Lockwood and Michael Redgrave who become entangled in a mystery aboard a train as they return to Britain after a skiing holiday in the Alps.
A Miss Froy disappears on the train. The intrigue which follows concerns who the missing lady is, what secret she holds and why she has disappeared.
Hitchcock uses his mastery of the suspense genre to lead the viewer through scene after scene, as the suspense builds and the true explanation of Miss Froy’s disappearance is revealed, as, all the time, the train conveys the British passengers closer to home.
