Surprising film in many ways


Set this to record on my DVR several weeks ago when I was scanning TCM's upcoming schedule. Just watched it last night. Thought it was a surprisingly well done film, good story, good actors. Was further surprised to find out this was based on a true story. Lot's of info in Wikipedia about the movie as well as the real Match King, Ivar Krueger. I will probably spend the whole afternoon reading about this.

I saw it yesterday with neighbors. I never knew it based on a real person.
