Ep 93: Margaret Lockwood in The Lady Vanishes (1938)

SassMouthDames

In Hitchcock's narrative economy, men can't see past the nose on their face. Women, on the other hand, have keen powers of observation. If not for an older governess, a nun, and a society dame in a monogrammed scarf, all would be lost. Margaret Lockwood gets stuck into political intrigue in a picture that made her an international star. Like her character, Iris Henderson, Margaret knew her own mind, and remained steadfast to her vision of dramatic arts during a long an illustrious career in film, theatre, and television.
