"I was having tea about an hour ago with an English lady. You saw her, didn't you?" The Lady Vanishes was released in the US 88 years ago today on November 1, 1938. Did You Know? The Lady Vanishes was based on Ethel Lina White's 1936 mystery novel The Wheel Spins. The film's memorable cricket enthusiasts, Charters and Caldicott, were created especially for the screen! #otd

One of the great cricket-themed films is the 1940 spy-thriller "Night Train to Munich". Superb cast of Margaret Lockwood, Rex Harrison, Paul Henreid with Basil Radford and Naunton Wayne as the English cricket fans who win the day youtube.com/watch?v=ahAc_AWw…

Hitchcock's birthday and I just rewatched The Lady Vanishes. It's such a fun movie and I had forgotten this gag. "Charters and Caldicott" are clearly gay-coded but there's some plausible deniability for censors. Audiences loved the characters, who appeared together in other films

I particularly admire his film work as part of a double act with Basil Radford: ‘Charters and Caldicott’, a pair of quintessentially British cricket-loving gentleman.

Remembering the Welsh character actor #NauntonWayne who was #BOTD in 1901. Together with Basil Radford they created Charters and Caldicott, the upper-crust, cricket obsessed gentlemen characters that appeared in a selection of films.

#AshesOldTraffordTest Hitchcock's 'The Lady Vanishes', in 1938, set the scene for 85 years on. The ghosts of Charters & Caldicott have now witnessed yet more agonizing disappointment.

Happy #PublicationDay to July's #CrimeClassic - ‘The Wheel Spins’ by Ethel Lina White! First published in 1936 (and adapted for the screen as 'The Lady Vanishes' by Alfred Hitchcock), it remains her best-known novel, worthy of acknowledgement as a classic of the genre. 🕵️

'The Lady Vanishes' was made in 1938 in a tiny, shabby and inadequate studio in Islington. There was no outside shooting. This lovely film shows that technology is secondary: all you need is a good screenplay, a competent cinematographer, a fine cast and a genius of a director.

October 2011 - a farewell message from Barbara Murray. In response to online speculation from fans, she confirmed that she had retired in 2001 and was now living in Spain (not Burgundy).
