While the episode is a decent remake of Alfred Hitchcock's "The Lady Vanishes" (1938) even Hitchcock references this in the opening narrative, it has its issues as described by fellow reviewer "Hitchcoc" the two being it all seems just like a lot to go throw when they could have just let the daughter in on the whole thing from the start, and could have kept the whole wild chase from happening, the other being its hard to believe the whole incident could have been covered up in two hours as the episode suggests, its also rather shocking that the hotel wouldn't have known that the girl and detective would have contacted her train or way of passage there to confirm that they did indeed get there, its all rather unbelievable! Pat Hitchcock does decent here I always thought she was a decent actress tho her career never really took off! All in all a decent episode with some issues, but, still decent!
