UNDER THE BOARDWALK: THE MONOPOLY STORY (Austin Film Festival, Austin, Texas USA 2010)

 Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.4|5.0 Starsìììì 

Under the Boardwalk: The Monopoly Story—interesting documentary—runs longer than an audience may wish but provides a good look at the game as played by professionals who vie for prize money and title of world champion. The interviews are great and the competitions are thoroughly explicated.
