Review of Silver Streak (1976) by Stephen C — 13 Apr 2009
The first of the Pryor/Wlder comedies and even though Pryor only turns up halfway the duo have some wondeful comedy moments together.
When Wilder decides to take a train across America little does he realise he will Witness a murder ,Be thrown of the train,Shot at,arrested,fall in love with a beuatifu woman ,and funniest of all pretend to be a black dude.
Wilder is tops as the guy who tries to uncover whats going on ,while Pryor is ace as the thief drawn into the goings on.
The film feels like a Hitchcock hybrid and although director Athur Hiller does let things wonder at times there is plenty here to keep you interested.
A good comedy thriller with plenty to recommend it.
