Storyline
Silver Streak A somewhat daffy book editor on a rail trip from Los Angeles to Chicago thinks that he sees a murdered man thrown from the train. When he can find no one who will believe him, he starts doing some investigating of his own. But all that accomplishes is to get the killer after him.
There are lots of funny scenes in this film, but the best part of it is the chemistry between Wilder and Pryor, who became a successful screen team. This, however, is their best teaming. The bad guys are great. McGoohan and Walston act as if they’re in a heavy duty suspense film, which makes them real and threatening. It works perfectly against the comic aspects of the film.
Hitchcock fans will see this as a mild takeoff on “North by Northwest.” It is, but it stands on its own as well.
Best teaming of Wilder and Pryor.
