Customer Rating:
Summary: Will success spoil Jimmy Stewart?
Comment: 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.

Summary: Not Good Enough For DVD?
Comment: 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...
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.
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.

Summary: Delightfully Cute
Comment: Jimmy Stewart & Barbara Hale keeps the plot moving. I really enjoyed watching it. Natalie Wood was kind of "dorky", but her little brother "Tommy" was a better actor. The overall movie is "delightfully cute". Barbara Hale shows her "versatility" for acting.

Summary: Radio game show winnings turn life upside-down.
Comment: One of Jimmy Stewart's most overlooked films. This picture is pure 1950's. Stewart is an overworked family man, (Similar to his role in Mr. Hobbs Takes A Vacation, but The Jackpot is a much better picture.) who wins a radio game show. Prizes range from the useful to the absurd. Everything is fine until he finds out he's got to pay taxes on all of his loot. Probably as much pure fun as any Jimmy Stewart picture.
