The Lady Vanishes... and a classic thriller unfolds! Screenwriter George Axelrod adapted the script for this highly successful remake of the 1938 Hitchcock classic. The result is a scintillating romantic thriller set aboard a train traveling through Bavaria on the eve of World War II. Elliot Gould heads the international star cast as the Life Magazine reporter who is drawn into the search for the benign English nanny (Angela Lansbury) who disappears in mysterious circumstances. A witty and sophisticated film in the best thriller tradition.
