About this movie

Chattanooga Choo Choo is a 1984 American comedy film starring Barbara Eden, George Kennedy, Melissa Sue Anderson and Joe Namath, directed by Bruce Bilson which was released on May 25, 1984. The film is inspired by the popular 1941 song "Chattanooga Choo Choo" originally recorded by the Glenn Miller Orchestra and featured in the 20th Century Fox film Sun Valley Serenade.
The film follows the story of football team owner Bert who will inherit one million dollars from a railroad tycoon if he can successfully drive a steam train from New York City to its namesake of Chattanooga, Tennessee in 24 hours. He invites his girlfriend Maggie and his team on the train, who invite their own guests and pick up new ones along the trip. The comedy is derived from numerous delays along the way.
The film's promotional tagline is: The song that kept America chuggin' along is this summer's funniest movie!
