Plot Outline: While traveling in continental Europe, a rich young playgirl realizes that an elderly lady seems to have disappeared from the train.
Plot: Travellers on a trans-European train are delayed for a night due to bad weather in a small fictional country called Mandrika. The passengers cram into the small village hotel where socialite Iris Henderson meets an old governess called Miss Froy. Shortly after the journey restarts, Miss Froy disappears.

Crazy Credits: We know about 1 Crazy Credits. One of them reads:
Right at the end, after the credits, there is a shot of William Petersens face

Goofs: We know about 9 goofs. Here comes one of them:
Revealing mistakes: When Iris is about to hit the still semi-conscious Signor Doppo, for the second time, he cringes before she hits him.

Trivia: There are 8 entries in the trivia list - like these:

• Director Cameo: [Alfred Hitchcock] near the end of the movie at Victoria Station wearing a black coat and smoking a cigarette.
• The fictitious country where most of the story takes place is named in the movie: in her first scene, Miss Froy says, "Bandrika is one of Europes few undiscovered corners." The first two stations in the movie are identified by briefly visible signs, and the third in dialog: they are Zolnay, Dravka, and Morsken.
• Gilbert says he once drove "a miniature engine on the Dymchurch line". The Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway is a real-life miniature (1/3 normal size) railway in southeast England, which in 2003 still uses steam locomotives and carries passengers over 13 miles of route.
