A review by Wuchak

Written on April 11, 2023

**_Drama, romance, crime, mystery, comedy, adventure, suspense and action on a train_**

A book editor traveling from Los Angeles to Chicago by rail (Gene Wilder) supposedly witnesses a crime while partying with a secretary (Jill Clayburgh). He suddenly finds himself embroiled in a dangerous conspiracy. Richard Pryor plays a helpful thief, Ned Beatty a passenger, Patrick McGoohan a smooth art expert, Richard Kiel a heavy and Len Birman a cop.

"Silver Streak” (1976) meshes Hitchcockian murder thriller with the amusing antics of Wilder and Pryor for an entertaining train flick. As my title blurb states, it expertly mixes genres into a fun and compelling rail ride.

If you like train flicks like "Runaway Train" (1985), "Transiberian" (2008), "Train" (2008), “Night Train” (2009)...
