Review of The Lady Vanishes (1938) by Killer K — 08 Nov 2005
Anybody see Flightplan?
[font=Helv][size=2]Anyway the movie took a critical drubbing, but made some decent cash, but I expect a strong drop-off due to what has been universally described as disappointing ending/3rd act, which will give [b]Corpse Bride[/b] the legs to over it at the Box office next week. A lot of people described FP as a rehashing of [b]The Lady Vanishes[/b] (Hitchcock classic) but on a plane rather than a train, but without the successful results. I watched TLV last night and it is overwhelmingly deserving of it's classic status. Very tight, and intriguing story that keeps you guessing throughout and doesn't seem like it's 1938, pre-hollywood Hitchcock date would suggest. Very modern in it's feel, with witty British banter and dialog throughout it's duration. CHECK IT.
