IMDB
"The title of this paragon of 30's screwball comedy refers to the Chicago-New York train, upon which the entirety of the original play was set. The MacArthur/Hecht screenplay updates the story a little, providing an insight as to why the loony characters are shouting quite so much.(…)
"The film was well received by the critics, though its success was hampered by that all-time great screwball It Happened One Night being released the same year. Barrymore had been a major star for years, but Lombard was elevated to the dizzy heights with this film, and she was not to get a better role until To Be Or Not To Be, her last film before her death in an air crash. The supporting cast does remarkably well considering the screen is dominated by the forceful personalities of the two leads; Etienne Girardot is particularly noteworthy as the escaped lunatic signing large cheques and posting stickers warning of the armageddon."
