Playing as party our Retro Boutique Cinema's 30s & 50s Hitchcock series, playing all through April.

Featuring a whimsically suspenseful script from Launder and Gilliat, THE LADY VANISHES boasts one of the all-time great ensemble casts including Michael Redgrave, Dame May Whitty and Margaret Lockwood in a delicious Agatha Christie-type whodunit.
