Comment/Synopsis

A young woman (Margaret Lockwood) befriends an elderly lady on a train across Europe. When the elderly lady disappears the young woman becomes increasing distraught as people do not believe her.Michael Redgrave helps her look for the woamn as it becomes increasingly apparent that dark forcea are at work on the train and all is not as it seems. This is a good Alfred Hitchcock film and one of the last films he made in Britian before moving to Hollywood. It is also the first film he made based in a train. It has a strong performance from Margaret Lockwood and good support from the rest of the cast.
