The title refers to the train that used to operate between Chicago and Los Angeles before air travel was the preferred means of transport by the gliterazzi.
In this movie the hilarious performances by John Barrymore (The Great Profile Legend), Carole Lombard (The greatest of screwball comedy actresses), Roscoe Karns and Walter Conolley make it a treat to view. The story revolves on a producer who creates a Cinderella and loses her to competition as he is too demanding and overbearing. Now down on his luck he conspires with his two cronies to woo her back and this is achieved on board the Twentieth Century when the entire group travel together. Get ready to laugh your heart out non-stop and take care not to miss out on the screwball dialogues. Every scene is hilariously funny and the direction first-rate. Anything more to be said on this movie is just SEE IT TO EXPERIENCE IT.
