BROADWAY LIMITED(1941)
This is actually a pretty good movie, and it's actually
a real comedy! A Hollywood director wants to get more
publicity for his chief actress and comes up with the
idea that she should have a baby, by tomorrow! One of
the dudes involved comes up with a plan, and before you
know it, the actress has a baby! What they don't know is
that the baby they wind up with has been kidnapped and
there's a massive manhunt out for him! B
From a reviewer at IMDb.com:
Plot Summary:
A Hollywood publicity stunt staged upon the Pennsylvania
Railroads' once infamous Broadway Limited, from Chicago
to Manhattan, goes awry when it is discovered that a
baby involved is kidnapped. Much scurrying about and
plenty of off the wall shenanigans ensue in this
light-hearted Hollywood romp.
What I thought of it:
A typical period piece, that is both surprisingly
enjoyable as well as accurate in it's portrayal
of Pennsylvania Railroad locomotives and equipment
and the track-side shots of the train taking nearly
the same Route that Amtrak's Broadway limited still
takes to this day. - GldnEgle
