Twentieth Century Fox. 113m.

A publisher becomes embroiled with crooks on the Los Angeles-Chicago express.
Proficient comedy thriller blend of North by Northwest crossed with The French Connection, giving away most of its twists before they occur, and resolving formulaically towards its inexorable train crash finale. The first of a notable comedy teaming of Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor.
