The Lady Vanishes to spare

thisbluespiritMy Margaret Lockwood boxset arrived the other day, so now I have two copies of The Lady Vanishes! And while I may be the hoarding type, I definitely don't need two DVDs of the same thing, so I'm offering to pass it on to someone who may want it.
One note is that it was evidently an early and basic DVD release and the film print was pretty much unrestored. It's watchable - I watched it and enjoyed it - but it's flickery and not cleaned up and the boxset version is just so much better (but you can't have that one, it's mine, sorry).
That said, if you're in the UK and would like it, it's an excellent and enjoyable old film directed by Alfred Hitchcock that is basically 1930s screwball comedy meets pre-WWII international spy thriller on a train. What's not to like?
So, if you'd like it, raise your hand in the comments. :-)
