History / Biographical: Comedy thriller "Silver Streak" (1976) was directed by Arthur Hiller and written by Colin Higgins. Parts of the filming took place in locations throughout Alberta, including Okotoks, Calgary, and Drumheller. The film largely takes place aboard a moving train, and the use of Canadian Pacific Railway for this purpose is likely how Nicholas Morant (Canadian Pacific's Special Photographer from 1930 - 1981) was able to take the photographs in this file.

Scope & Content: File pertains to filming of the movie "Silver Streak". Images include shots of cast members Gene Wilder, Richard Pryor and Jill Clayburgh (action shots from film and also staged cast photographs).
