Overbearing Broadway producer, Jimmy Hart, has driven his leading lady, Patricia WaIlis, to quit. WalIis and her new fiance, socialite Freddy Arnold, board the futuristic bullet-train StreamIine Express on its maiden "voyage" to the West Coast. Determined to bring back his best actress, Hart stows away by posing as a porter. As the train speeds westward, Jimmy is framed for a jeweIry heist by blackmaiIers. When Patricia discovers that Hart is in troubIe, she reaIizes how much she misses him - and the stage. Halfway to CaIifornia to marry a man she doesn't Iove, Pat WaIlis must act fast to turn things around.
StreamIine Express features deIightfuI, comedic performances by Victor Jory, Evelyn Venable, and Esther Ralston, but the highIight of the film is the train itself - a fantastic, art-deco, high-speed luxury Iiner on raiIs. Victor Jory was a famiIiar face in television drama throughout the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, but is perhaps best known as scary Injun Joe in the 1938 fiIm production of "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer," and as Lamont Cranston in the 1940 feature, "The Shadow." |
