Summaries

Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel, two film critics, introduce their new show. They discuss the Chicago Film Festival and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975). They review current and upcoming releases; each picks The Dog of the Month.

Two Chicago newspaper critics, Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel, introduce themselves and their new show, describing it simply as "two film critics talking about the movies." They promise to show "what's playing in town, what's coming to town" and to take the viewers behind the scenes to learn something about the movie business. They begin by talking about the Chicago Film Festival, which had the premiere of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975). Clips are shown. The critics like the movie, but don't believe it lives up to its reputation. They show clips from the festival's Self Service (1974), Bruno Bozzetto's animated short about hungry mosquitoes. Next, they review and show clips from a rare family film, The Old Curiosity Shop (1975), a musical based on Charles Dickens. The review quickly gives way to a broader discussion about children's movies. The critics both dislike the British melodrama, Conduct Unbecoming (1975). They introduce their feature, The Dog of the Month. Siskel's pick is Ken Russell's gross-out, Lisztomania (1975), which he calls trash. Ebert disagrees, noting that he rated it three stars for his newspaper. Siskel, however, agrees with Ebert's dog, Mahogany (1975), an old-fashioned melodrama whose only twist is that the characters are black.
