Silver Streak is a 1970 comedy starring Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor. It is
amurder mystery set about a train from Los Angeles to Chicago. I think it would be hard to do a movie about a train with referencing anything from Hitchcock since trains are such a recurring theme in a lot of his movies. Silver Streak is like an updated Lady Vanishes but played as comedy. It really take offs when Richard Pryor show up. This was the first team up of Wilder and Pryor. Silver Streak even has a reference to an early train movie:The Narrow Margin(1952).
