Virtual Saturday Night at the Movies

Toronto Film Society will be screening The Lady Vanishes (1938) straight to you home!  Directed by Alfred Hitchcock and starring Margaret Lockwood, Michael Redgrave, Paul Lukas, Dame May Whitty, Googie Withers, and duo team Naunton Wayne and Basil Radford.

Alfred Hitchcock’s signature style is on full display in this classic thriller, recognized today as a masterclass in mystery, wit, and intrigue.

While traveling through Europe, young socialite Iris Henderson (Margaret Lockwood) befriends a charming governess, Miss Froy (May Whitty). But when Miss Froy mysteriously disappears, fellow passengers insist the woman was never there. Iris teams up with quick-witted fellow passenger Gilbert (Michael Redgrave), and the pair uncover a web of deception and conspiracy at play.

Hitchcock’s brilliant, playful direction is matched by witty dialogue, clever plot twists, and wonderful characterizations. Don’t miss this opportunity to see one of Hitchcock’s greatest early triumphs!
