"So Long at the Fair" is a mystery-/suspense-thriller directed by Terence Fisher and Anthony Darnborough in 1950. It stars Dirk Bogarde and Jean Simmons. In its plot elements and style the film is reminiscent of many of the films of Alfred Hitchcock. It is about a woman and her brother who are on vacation in Paris and are in separate hotel rooms. One morning, the woman wakes up to find her brother missing and a blank wall where his room was. All people at the hotel claim she arrived on her own, except for Dirk Bogarde, who is her sole ally in helping to solve the mystery.

The story "Maybe You Will Remember" told in Alvin Schwartz's "Scary Stories 3" was based on this film. An episode of the TV show Alfred Hitchcock Presents, "Into Thin Air", was also based on the same story.
