So Long at the Fair (1950)

Directed by Antony Darnborough and Terence Fisher
My rating: 3 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Turner Classic Movies)

Jean Simmons and her brother arrive in Paris for the 1896 World's Fair. They check into a small hotel and enjoy an evening dining and dancing. The next morning Simmons wakes up and cannot find her brother, even his room has a different number and new occupants. Hotel employees act like he was never there in the first place. She goes to the police but they don't believe her either. Dirk Bogarde, who happened to see her brother on that night by chance, does believe her and is determined to find out what happened. A good little thriller, though almost none of it happens at the World's Fair, mostly in the hotel.
