				a great start. 
				Plot Summary: 
				While traveling on a train through continental Europe, a young 
				English woman, Iris Henderson, befriends an elderly governess, 
				Miss Froy. When Iris wakes from a nap, Miss Froy has 
				inexplicably vanished, and all the other passengers deny ever 
				having seen her. Convinced that something sinister is at play 
				and refusing to believe she is delusional, Iris teams up with a 
				young musicologist, Gilbert Redman, to uncover the truth behind 
				the disappearance. Dad's Preview: 
				Early in his career, when he was making British films, Alfred 
				Hitchcock became a real master of the mystery thriller. This is 
				one of his best efforts. There is a successful 
				blend of suspense and comedy, which makes the film very 
				appealing. This classic is often regarded as one of Britain's 
				greatest films of all time. It also caught Hollywood's 
				attention, resulting in Hitch's move to America, and, as they 
				say, the rest is history.
