Charters and Caldicott

Are you a fan of old movies, particularly Hitchcock's The Lady Vanishes?

I have created a website dedicated to the unlikely heroes of The lady Vanishes; Charters and Caldicott.

They also appeared in several other movies, notably Night Train to Munich and Crook's Tour amongst others.

I meant to add that the Charters and Caldicott website address is in my signature below as I don't yet have sufficient posts to include a website address in the post.

The Guardian newspaper are providing free online access to old movies over the coming weeks. This week, they have provided a code to view The Lady Vanishes starring Margaret Lockwood and also featuring Charters and Caldicott.

I can't provide a link (low posting number0 but you can find it by doing a web search for The Guardian and The Lady Vanishes.
