Author of the novel and screenplay James Dickey appears at the end of the film as the sheriff.

According to IMdB which might get ages wrong but seems quite accurate :)

It's an excellent film, the face of the banjo boy has always haunted me.

It would be interesting to know how similar the book and the film are.

I listened to the radio adaptation of 'The Lady Vanishes', from the book 'The Wheel Spins', by Ethel Lina White, on Radio 4 Extra in the early hours of this morning and found that nearly all of the twists and turns of the film weren't in the original work.
