Poster for the movie Broadway Limited

Broadway Limited (Hal Roach / UA, 1941)

Lobby card for the movie Broadway LimitedMadcap mishaps and misunderstandings as a publicity stunt goes awry aboard the eastbound Broadway Limited, the Pennsylvania Railroad’s premier passenger train. There are plenty of laughs from Victor McLaglen, Patsy Kelly, Zasu Pitts, and the others in the cast, even if the ending is a little weak, and it’s pure delight to see a streamlined Pennsylvania K-4 Pacific at speed — and the Pennsylvania’s sleek GG-1 electric at work east of Harrisburg, too.
