This 1950 B&W movie is the story of a young English woman (Vicky Barton), who traveled to Paris to attend the 1889 World Fair. She was accompanied by her brother when they checked into a hotel in Paris, in separate rooms. The brother was booked in room 19. After an afternoon of sightseeing the brother was not feeling well and retired to his room. When Vicky is trying to wake him up in the morning, the room is no longer there, and all hotel personel who saw them together the day before now claim they never saw her brother, in fact, she checked in by herself! They also claim room 19 has always been just a bathroom.
Vicky now has to figure out what happened to her brother.
Charmingly Victorian and mysterious, some of the dialogue is in French. Well acted and executed! I saw this movie when I was growing up in Germany, late 50s or early 60s. All I remembered was the missing hotel room and gentleman, and the burning balloon. I did not know the title, no the actors' names. I had been searching for this movie for years. I finally found it on this website by doing a synopsis search. I then bought a VHS copy on e-bay. Its not a very good copy, but I was so thrilled to be able to see this movie again!
