The Jackpot (1950) The Jackpot

The Jackpot ★★ 1950 An average Joe wins a bushel of money from a radio quiz show but can't pay the taxes. Maybe that was funny before the age of read-mylips economics, but the all-star cast doesn't deliver on its promise.

James Stewart, Natalie Wood, Barbara Hale, James Gleason, Fred Clark, Patricia Medina; Director: Walter Lang; Writer: Joseph LaShelle.
