This is a delightfully engaging movie and I personally consider it a vital part of Americana. Life of the typical middle class family making it big when they win a radio quiz show and how it then impacts their lives. Then there is the taxman <br /> <br />Good wholesome entertainment for the whole family as well as a candid look at what life was like in the 1940s. I recommend this film highly. <br /> <br />I only wish that this film could somehow be transferred into DVD format or packaged into a Jimmy Stewart movie collection. For its entertainment value and for its charming rendition of life in the 40s, this film is a treasure of a bygone era.
Viewer Reviews JACKPOT is a hilarious peek into the private lives of a normal family in 1950 made suddenly mad by winning a big radio prize. This is great family fun and deserves a place in your collection. Why it has not yet been released on DVD is a mystery to me. However, if you have never seen it -- don't wait and purchase the VHS copy, because it's just that good.
