The Lady Vanishes (1979)

An unnecessary remake of the Hitchcock classic, this version is a bit weighed down by casting the leads with Cybill Shepherd and Elliott Gould as somewhat obnoxious Americans. The obnoxious qualities luckily wane over the course of the film but it dully settles to being very close to the original. This version is certainly watchable and also contains the incomparable Angela Lansbury, so the time isn’t a complete waste.
