The Lady Vanishes
When young tourist Iris discovers that her elderly companion has vanished from a snow‑bound train and the other passengers swear she never existed, she teams up with a charming musicologist to uncover the conspiracy before the truth disappears forever.
“Comedy! Chills! Chuckles! in a Mystery Express!”
Synopsis
A group of travelers en route to England by train is delayed by an avalanche. Taking refuge in a hotel in a fictional European country, young Iris forms a friendship with the elderly Miss Froy. When the train resumes its journey, Iris becomes unconscious and awakens to discover that Miss Froy is missing. The other passengers deny ever knowing Miss Froy, prompting Iris to begin an investigation with another traveler. As the two work together to uncover the truth, a romantic connection develops between them.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 32
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
