Broadway Limited is a 1941 American comedy film directed by Gordon Douglas and starring Victor McLaglen, Dennis O'Keefe and ZaSu Pitts. The film takes its name from the Broadway Limited train that the Pennsylvania Railroad used to run between New York and Chicago.

Plot

Movie director Ivan Ivanski (Leonid Kinskey) stages a publicity stunt involving actress April Tremaine (Marjorie Woodworth), railroad engineer Mike Monohan (Victor McLaglen), and a baby (Gay Ellen Dakin), which turns into a real kidnapping, leaving Tremaine caught in the middle aboard the flagship train of the Pennsylvania Railroad.
