"The Lady Vanishes" vs. "Night Train to Munich"

I like both films. Both need a while to get going; I wish Michael Redgrave were a bit more lively in the Hitchcock. The Reed film is a lot of fun, although it takes time for the comedy to kick in.

The Lady Vanishes (1938)

Truly, Michael Redgrave was no Rex Harrison. I'm a bit surprised that Harrison never worked for Alfred Hitchcock. One might think he'd have made an ideal Hitchcock hero.
