Margaret Lockwood was one of Britain’s biggest box-office stars of the 1940s, equally good at breezy suspense and scheming period melodrama. The Lady Vanishes and Night Train to Munich are the suspense highlights, The Man in Grey and The Wicked Lady are costume melodramas, Love Story falls a pianist and a blind soldier in love, and Cast a Dark Shadow meets a wife-killer’s match.
