Hitchcockian in nature, the film goes down very pleasantly with just the right mix of humor and suspense.

Reviews for Silver Streak
...the entire film might just be worth a look for the sequence in which Pryor teaches Wilder how to be black.

It could have been a lot funnier if Wilder was a more gifted comic.

Unfortunately this 30+ year old comedy-murder mystery has dated, but Wilder and Pryor are great in first pairing.

A nifty little Hitchcock knockoff, with great chemistry between Wilder and Pryor.

The beginning of the perfectly splendid comic duo of Wilder and Pryor. And man, do I ever miss them.
