Night Train to Munich (1940)

This is not officially a sequel nor a remake of Hitchcock’s The Lady Vanishes, but it is written by two of the same authors, features the same pair of supporting characters, and shares their early World War II time periods. Here, we have Margaret Lockwood playing the daughter of a Czech scientist who needs rescuing by Rex Harrison’s British intelligence officer. Directed by Carol Reed, it has a different tone than the earlier film during both its lighthearted and more serious scenes. They make for a great way to compare the works of two fantastic directors.

Oscar Nomination: Best Writing, Original Story
