Silver Streak
Directed by Arthur Hiller
1976
★ 1.9 editorial score
Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor met on this and made three more together: a book editor takes a slow train from Los Angeles to Chicago and sees something through a window.
“Silver Streak is entertaining enough thanks primarily to Wilder's expectedly ingratiating performance, though the film is hurt by an unnecessarily overlong running time...Still, it's hard to deny the genuine chemistry between Wilder and Pryor, and the entire film might just be worth a look for the sequence in which Pryor teaches Wilder how to be black.”
