First of all, I just want to emphasize that I think The Lady Vanishes is a great little movie. It's a great deal of fun. But I came to Night Train to Munich with no expectations and was pleasantly surprised--I thought it cleverer, wittier, and more fast-moving. Hitchcock did an admirable job on Lady, but it was his last picture before Selznick picked him up and he headed to America, and I think it shows. (He also had nothing to do with the script or the concepts, unlike the majority of his films, at least according to Donald Spoto's The Art of Alfred Hitchcock.)
