Alfred Hitchcock Presents: Into Thin Air (1955) (TV)

Synopsis: Mother and daughter arrive in Paris for the Exposition in 1900. The mother feels bad and the doctor sends the daughter to fetch the medicine. When she returns to the hotel her mother has disappeared and no one seems to remember either of them.

Appraisal: Stories of disappearance enjoy a persistent popularity. It's interesting to observe that the solution, although implausible, is rather prosaic, unlike in recent film productions.
