SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
One of the Iris Carr's companions in the coach, a sweet old woman, suddenly disappears on long train ride and none of the other passengers has ever even heard of her. Iris's increasingly desperate search uncovers a web of danger and intrigue. This story formed the basis for one of Hitchcock's most famous films, The Lady Vanishes, (1938, England) with British cast headed by Michael Redgrave.
