This is one of my fav Hitchcock films. Ostensibly it's a mystery about what happens to a middle-aged English governess who disappears on a train leaving a small European country. And the mystery, plot, acting are all great. But to me, this is really a love story about British characters. We have the obsessed cricket fans, the middle aged governess, the stiff, upper-crust judge who is cheating on his wife, and the incredibly charming musician. The heroine is an American heiress, and she and the musician are freakishly good together, with sparkling dialogue. This one is a lot of fun.
