The Narrow Margin
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0044954

Narrow Margin was a remake

reply

The Narrow Margin--An excellent film from 1952. It was a B film from RKO starring Charles McGraw and Marie Windsor and reckoned to be better than most A pictures. Quote "Nobody likes a fat man!"
Recommended.

Don't forget Burt Lancaster in 'The Train'. One of the best.

For a mystery on a train from approximately the same time period as The Lady Vanishes, try the Sherlock Holmes film "Terror by Night" (1946)

Nobody mentioned Hitchcocks own Strangers On A Train.

Came here late to the game, but I am surprised no one mentioned Shanghai Express, with Marlene Dietrich.

reply

Thank you for identifying this film.

I had been trying to think of it while watching the Lady Vanishes; I was only able to come up with the Lady from Shanghai, which was not the one I had been thinking of.

Polar Express...

Ok, it as rubbish, but it WAS about a train.

Somers Town is great, but only loosely based around a train.

...and for those among you with a strong stomach: Ultimo treno della notte, L' (Night Train Murders) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0073836/ an excellent film about madmen terrorising a pair of girls on a train. It's pretty hard to watch in places

An Australian film named Last Train to Freo (2005) - I doubt you could get hold of it, but its a mystery which unfolds completely on a train, in real time. The whole movie.

"The Palm Beach Story" by Preston Sturges has a great train sequence.

"Night Train to Munich" which also has Margaret Lockwood.

See "The Train" 1964, Burt Lancaster. It's about WWII Germans stealing French Art to take back to Germany, but people conspire to delay and divert the train in a number of ways. It's based on a true incident but all the intrigue and skullduggery was made up. It's always fun to watch Nazis get duped and frustrated.
