"The opening scene of the LADY VANISHES sets the tone of the film, mostly lighthearted, pleasant.   The music sounds is very cheerful, warm and cozy in the German style.  The cuckoo clock sounds and the innkeeper bustles about. Charters and Caldecott, a pair of the silly **** Englishmen, seem to be discussing very serious concerns, England on the brink and all that, showing respect by standing during the National Anthem. However,  The Hungarian Rhapsody is not the anthem and the conversation is obviously ridiculous. The young women are greeted effusively by the hotelkeeper, and their conversation is also light and frivolous.   The sinister elements of the train ride are not evident in the opening scene.    "
