Chicago Tribune, 8/24:
Union Station exhibit takes a ride through movie history
Venture into the secular cathedral that is downtown Union Station's Great Hall, high-ceilinged star of "The Untouchables" and other films featuring men in fedoras, and over in one corner you'll find a modest 10-panel exhibit devoted to Chicago's transit image in the movies.
What does that mean? It means Cary Grant dressed as a redcap, skulking around LaSalle Street Station accompanied by Eva Marie Saint in "North by Northwest." It means Chuck Norris, or, rather, Norris' double, leaping off a moving "L" train into the Chicago River in "Code of Silence."
