When Billie Beat Bobby

Holly Hunter and Ron Silver star in this compelling biodrama about the historic 1973 tennis match between Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs. When aging champion and self-proclaimed male chauvinist Riggs (Silver) extends a challenge to feminist player King (Hunter), it becomes a galvanizing force--and ultimately, a rousing victory--for the women's movement. Matt Letscher, Bob Gunton, Elizabeth Berridge, and Fred Willard as Howard Cosell also star. 88 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: English.
