Truth is always stranger then fiction...
On this special episode we dive into a movie that after a successful festival run, including here at TIFF has finally made it's way back to theatres. It's time for 'The Luckiest Man In America'
May 1984. An unemployed ice cream truck driver steps onto the game show Press Your Luck harboring a secret: the key to endless money. But his winning streak is threatened when the bewildered executives uncover his real motivations.
We got to talk with co-writer/director Samir Oliveros back at TIFF before the movie had even sold and I got to ask him about this next level star making turn he got out of Paul Walter Hauser, the genuine batshit nature of the story and so very much more.
The Luckiest Man In America is in theatres now.
