Someone has commented here that you should not compare this film to the Hitchcock directed original as they are &#39;different&#39; and &#39;comparisons are pointless&#39;! What a very strange and incorrect comment to make on a site dedicated to comparing films of all kinds! The person has rated this film 10/10 therefore intimating that by comparison to ANY film this is top notch. If they do not wish to compare films, why comment and rate a film on the site?! Weird! Their comment that they are good in different ways and rating this as 10/10 are extraordinary claims for quality in this film that most others as well as myself think are way off the mark.<br/><br/>This film lacks all the charm, wit and directorial genius of the original. There are many likenesses as it is the same story of course but EVERYTHING is done far less well. Even the person who rated this top marks and is a self proclaimed Elliott Gould fan says he isn&#39;t good in this. I agree for once. The acting is poor. Every character in Hitchcock&#39;s film is well developed as well as charmingly and brilliantly acted. All actors are far inferior in this version as is the director.<br/><br/>The original has all the camera shots, suspense building scenes and clever touches you would expect from Hitchcock. This film lacks all of that. It has lost its charm and all the humour falls flat. It scrapes up to 3 1/2 or 4 out of 10 for me simply due to its great source material and me trying to judge it on its own limited merits.
In an overcrowded hotel, many travellers await a train to their destination. Among them is Miss Froy - a school mistress, Robert Condon, a photographer for Life magazine and Amanda Kelly, a socialite on her way to meet her fiancée. When Amanda gets a knock on her head on the train, Miss Froy looks after her. She falls asleep for a while and wakes up to find Miss Froy gone. When she enquires, no one else can remember any such woman being on the train – did she imagine it or is something more sinister afoot?<br/><br/>Of course it isn&#39;t rubbish but no matter how &quot;OK&quot; this film it, it simply isn&#39;t comparable to the much, much better Hitchcock original – sadly a statement that I consider true of all aspects of the film. The plot is held as in the original but for this story to work the delivery needs to be good. Hitchcock did it well producing a pacy and enjoyable film that was light but engaging at the same time. Here the film isn&#39;t too much longer than the original but my gosh it drags by comparison. The lack of tension was a real surprise to me and the film failed to draw out the mystery – of course I knew it was not in Amanda&#39;s head but I do when I watch the original as well – this familiarity doesn&#39;t totally account for the lack of tension in the film generally, that is more to do with the lack of urgency and the starry feel of the film generally. Filmed in lush colours and a postcard presentation of Europe the film looks professional but the brightness undercuts the tension yet again. Page generally doesn&#39;t do much with the direction to help the material or cast out – it all looks OK but doesn&#39;t do that much. Viewers who have not seen the original might enjoy it but anyone coming to it second will struggle to find much added value in this retread.<br/><br/>Gould and Shepherd both overegg their performances and lean too heavily on the side of humour without doing enough on the side of the mystery. Of course neither of them are helped by their lack of chemistry with one another. There is no spark at all and they generally just bluster around each other. Lansbury is OK as the lady of the title but you can&#39;t help feel that she&#39;s doesn&#39;t really deserve to share the same role as the much better Witty. Lowe and Charmichael dominate with a rerun of the amusing English clichés from the original although Lom is worth a look. The rest of the cast however, just fill in the background without too much effort or style.<br/><br/>Overall this is a distracting and OK film in its own right but I simply cannot see any reason why any viewer would find this a more worthwhile venture than the original. In every way, from direction and tone through to performances and cinematography, the film is a poor photocopy of the original. If you haven&#39;t seen it then you should be watching that; if you have seen it then I don&#39;t understand why beyond a morbid sense of curiosity, you&#39;d want to watch this remake.

In August 1938, American heiress Amanda Kelly (<a href="/name/nm0001732/">Cybill Shepherd</a>), while on a drunken binge, meets English governess and music teacher Miss Froy (<a href="/name/nm0001450/">Angela Lansbury</a>) on a train from Bavaria to Switzerland. When Mrs Froy suddenly vanishes, no one will believe (or admit) that she was ever on the train, chalking it up to Amanda&#39;s imagination and coupled with her drinking. It&#39;s only when Amanda meets American photographer Robert Condon (<a href="/name/nm0001285/">Elliott Gould</a>), and the two start poking around, that they discover what is really going on. The Lady Vanishes is a remake of <a href="/title/tt0030341/">The Lady Vanishes (1938)</a> (1938), which was based on the novel The Wheel Spins by English crime writer Ethel Lina White [1876-1944]. The screenplay for the 1979 version was written by American screenwriter George Axelrod. Another remake, also called <a href="/title/tt2183152/">The Lady Vanishes (2013)</a> was released in 2013. The car carrying Amanda, Robert, Miss Froy, and several other passengers is detached from the train and diverted onto an isolated track where German Schutzstaffel (SS) soldiers are waiting to take Miss Froy into custody. A shootout takes place, during which Froy reveals to Robert and Amanda that she is a British spy. She teaches a tune to them, the same tune that she was heard whistling at the beginning of the movie, then escapes from a back window and makes a run for it while dodging bullets. Robert and Caldicott (<a href="/name/nm0138428/">Ian Carmichael</a>) get the train started again, and they outrun the SS. When Robert and Amanda finally make it to London, singing the encrypted tune all the way, Amanda ducks into a cab with him in order to avoid her fiancè who is waiting for her. They go to Whitehall to deliver the message, but suddenly they cannot remember the tune. In the final scene, as they try to remember it, they hear the tune being played on a piano. Opening the door into the piano room, they see Miss Froy playing it. She managed to escape successfully, and everyone happily hugs each other. We never find out the actual message, other than Miss Froy&#39;s admission that she is acting on the orders of General von Reider and must get the message through because &#39;there&#39;s going to be a war, you know.&#39; Even Froy admits that she doesn&#39;t know the meaning of the tune. This film, being a remake of an old Alfred Hitchcock film, uses Hitchcock&#39;s trademark…the &#39;McGuffin&#39;, which he described as &quot;the mechanical element that usually crops up in any story. In crook stories, it is almost always the necklace and in spy stories it is most always the papers.&quot; The thing that characterizes a MacGuffin is that the content of the tune, the jewels, or the papers is not important and, most times, never even revealed. It is something very minor that is often never fully seen or explained but is central to the plot. In the original movie, Miss Froy explains only that …it contains, in code of course, the vital clause of a secret pact between two European countries.&#39;
