Description
Embarking at London's Victoria Station, this program offers adventure and visual delight aboard one of the most storied passenger trains of all time-the Orient Express. Viewers meet James Sherwood, an American who bought two of the original Orient Express carriages in 1977 and decided to restore them, as he eventually would an entire line of sleeper, restaurant, and Pullman cars, to their long-lost Art Deco glory. After surveying the luxury of the dining compartment the program reveals an equally splendid sleeping cabin, showing what wealthy riders would have experienced as the train chugged through the Alps. And in the spirit of international travel, Bevis Hillier, the historian who helped coin the phrase Art Deco, describes the rapid spread of the movement from its origins at a French exhibition in 1925.
