This truism does not apply to The Lady Vanishes for some reason I can't quite fathom...
...about a woman who tried to steal my man," Dolly cries out. "She pulled my wig off and almost beat me to death with it. I fought that woman like a wildcat. I had another wig, but I didn't want another man." People love it. The flash of Instamatic cameras is almost as blinding as Dolly's finery. It is not a Nikon crowd...
