Description

Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert's unlikely partnership revolutionised the way we engage with movies. Their initial animosity on-screen soon gave way to a lasting friendship, and their iconic "Two thumbs up!" review became the gold standard for Hollywood.

Their journey from a local Chicago PBS show to a syndicated series with multimillion-dollar contracts is a fascinating story of collaboration, conflict, and enduring influence. This book delves into the behind-the-scenes world of Siskel & Ebert, revealing the key moments that shaped their partnership and legacy.

Despite their on-screen chemistry, the partnership was cut short by Gene Siskel's untimely passing in 1999. Yet, their impact on the way we discuss and think about movies continues to be felt today.
