I haven't seen the Angela Lansbury version, tarathian123, but I agree with you about loving Night Train. I don't dislike Lady Vanishes at all, far from it, but I knew nothing about Night Train going in, and it was a very pleasant surprise--and, I think, slightly superior.
teleadm, thanks for pointing that out! Whew, yes, I should have known that, was obviously typing too fast (as usual, eh, BATouttaheck?
). Still, I suppose, the point remains the same: according to Donald Spoto's book, at least, Hitch wasn't particularly interested in Lady (or in Jamaica Inn, for that matter). He came to the former, if I'm not mistaken, when everything had been completed except the actual filming, a situation far removed from his preferred method, in which he micromanaged the pre-production.
