The Lady Vanishes

We watched Alfred Hitchcock's The Lady Vanishes today and I think everybody was uncomfortable sitting in a science class. But we can't be comfortable all the time. The movie was enjoyed after the initial slow start and none of the students knew what was going on at the beginning of the movie. Hopefully, the rest of the film sessions can be either in the library or a different classroom (with a pulldown screen). Now we know why the humming guitarist was killed! We also learned what a "macguffin" is, according to Hitchcock. I didn't know if any of the students saw Hitchcock's cameo appearance near the end of the movie wearing a black coat and smoking a cigarette (as usual). Orson Welles supposedly watched this movie 11 times!! Which we may view his most classic movie October 9th! VOTE NOW!
