Twentieth Century (1934)
With John Barrymore, Carole Lombard, Walter Connolly, Dale Fuller, Edgar Kennedy, Herman Bing, Roscoe Karns, Charles Lane
Directed by Howard Hawks
Twentieth Century is a 1934 American pre-Code screwball comedy film directed by Howard Hawks and starring John Barrymore, Carole Lombard, Walter Connolly, and Roscoe Karns. Much of the film is set on the 20th Century Limited train as it travels from Chicago to New York City. Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur adapted their 1932 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.
