Overview
On the eve of World War II, zany heiress Amanda Kelly travels by train to Switzerland. While passing through Germany, she meets a sweet elderly lady, who suddenly vanishes. Distraught, she questions her fellow passengers who claim that the woman was never there. Unsure if it's all in her mind or if there's a more sinister plot afoot, Amanda teams up with photographer Robert Condon to discover the truth.
This movie was a disappointment from beginning to end. If nothing else, it needed to either be more of a thriller or more of a comedy. Sheperd is barely a competent actress on a good day, and she surely couldn’t life this mediocre script.
