Two that pop into my mind are the train scene at the conclusion of Vivacious Lady & the scene when Irene Dunne gets off the train in Theodora Goes Wild.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15687192784861682991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092350404895325373.post-82981005238643052482010-05-03T16:51:13.436-04:002010-05-03T16:51:13.436-04:00You're right, Stefan, trains have also played ...You're right, Stefan, trains have also played an important role in many British films. I haven't seen "The Lady Vanishes" in years, I've got to see that again.<br /><br />Caftan Woman, my last train trip was a couple years ago, and was very enjoyable. However, like you, I felt somewhat bereft of intrigue. Next time I'm going to at least hire someone to wave a hanky at me as my train pulls out of the station.Jacqueline T.

My expectations at this point would include a murder mystery as in "The Lady Vanishes", "Sleepers West" and "Lady on a Train".
