Silver Streak

Directed by Arthur Hiller

With Gene Wilder, Jill Clayburgh, Richard Pryor, Patrick McGoohan and Ned Beatty

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.
