November 1, 1938 –
The Alfred Hitchcock film, The Lady Vanishes, starring Margaret Lockwood and Michael Redgrave opened in the US on this date.
In order to get a realistic effect, Alfred Hitchcock insisted that there should be no background music except at the beginning and the end. Between those two points, the only music heard is the music sung by the musician outside the hotel, the music tune of Miss Froy, the “Colonel Bogey March” music hummed by Gilbert (Michael Redgrave), the dance music conducted by Gilbert in his hotel room, and the dance music when Iris (Margaret Lockwood) meets Gilbert in the train.
