Twentieth Century is the 1932 comedy set aboard the title luxury train en route from Chicago to New York. In an effort to revive his failing career, a Broadway producer hops on the Twentieth-Century Limited to convince a famous movie actress to sign a contract with him.

Being based itself on a play by Bruce Millholland, the show was later adapted into the 1978 Tony Award-winning musical On the Twentieth Century by Adolph Green, Betty Comden and Cy Coleman — starring John Cullum, Madeline Kahn, Kevin Kline and Imogene Coca.
