Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
For me this is one of Hitchcock's, and therefore cinema's, very best films and Criterion have done a great job here because this could easily be shown at the cinema today.The print to my eyes is generally flawless.The sound is very good too and I'd say that overall this is well worth paying the extra money for.
The second disc contains,amongst other things,an engrossing documentary,and a Charters and Caldicott adventure, Crook's Tour.It's set in the Middle East,but it suffers badly from being very studio bound and without Hitchcock's flair the characters to me lose a good deal of their lustre.I watched 15 minutes and then gave up and put the disc away for another day.Even so, it does give some added value and takes some of the sting out of paying fifteen quid for a 70 year old film,even if it is a classic.

Having read past customer reviews of this item on the Amazon website under "The Criterion Collection - The Lady Vanishes" I was led to believe that this collection included the film "Crooks Tour" as a bonus item - however upon receiving DVD I was disappointed to discover no bonus "Crooks Tour" which was the film that I really wanted. Amazon - please correct your customer reviews of this item.

One of the greatest movies from the 1930s!
Margaret Lockwood stars as a passenger on a train who is befriended by an elderly lady (Dame May Whitty) after receiving a bang on the head. The plot thickens when Miss Froy (Whitty) goes missing, but no one on the train will admit to ever having seen her.
Lots of suspense in this, and not a boring moment! This can be watched over and over and still remains as fresh as the day it was made! This classic suspense movie will keep you on the edge of your seat the whole time! Includes a galaxy of stars, with some outstanding performances - particularly those of Catherine Lacey (the nun), Linden Travers, Dame May Whtty and of course Lockwood herself.
Also stars a young Googie Withers.
Fabulous!
