Twentieth Century (film)

Twentieth Century is a 1934 American pre-Code screwball comedy film. Much of the film is set on the 20th Century Limited train as it travels from Chicago to New York City. The film was directed by Howard Hawks, stars John Barrymore and Carole Lombard, and features Walter Connolly, Roscoe Karns and Edgar Kennedy. Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur adapted their Broadway play of the same name – itself based on the unproduced play Napoleon of Broadway by Charles Bruce Millholland – with uncredited contributions from Gene Fowler and Preston Sturges.
