Streamline Express is a 1935 American comedy drama film directed by Leonard Fields, starring Victor Jory, Evelyn Venable and Esther Ralston, distributed by Mascot Pictures.[1] The film is an adaptation of Twentieth Century, released the previous year, in which Ralph Forbes appears in a similar role.[2]

Plot

Broadway star Patricia Wallace quits her Broadway show to run off with wealthy Fred Arnold. Her director Jimmy Hart follows them aboard a futuristic super-speed monorail, the Streamline Express. In its non-stop trip from New York City to Los Angeles in 20 hours, the double-decker Express can reach speeds up to 160 miles per hour. Meanwhile, also aboard is John Bradley and his mistress Elaine Vincent, but Bradley's wife Mary ends up on the train as well.

When Elaine gives her crooked pal Gilbert Landon a diamond pendant given her by Bradley, in order to keep Landon quiet about her past, she pretends that the pendant was stolen, in hopes of hiding the truth from Bradley. But Landon manages to throw suspicion on Jimmy Hart, who is masquerading as a steward. It takes confessions by several people to resolve everyone's dilemmas.
